[QUOTE="Andy, post: 221066, member: 5096"] The professional couldn't come up with techniques? Unbelievable. O.K. This may take awhile for him to get to the point where he will be able to control the rages. However because he can recognize the start of one, there is hope. Continue looking for a new professional and a reason for these rages. In the meantime, have you noticed ANY pattern at all? ANY triggers? Are they more common at a certain time of day? A disclaimer: I am not a professional. I am just letting you know what I would try with my child if this was happening to us. If this does not feel right to try, no hard feelings. I just want to offer one option. Talk to your son. Let him know that as of this moment, you want to help him stop these rages. Tell him that you are trying to set up special tests to figure out what is making him experience these. Assure him that you will be there to help. Ask that as soon as his stomach starts to tighten that he come to you. When he does come to you, it is very important that you drop everything and give him your full attention. The medical changes going on inside him may prevent him from following through with any control. However, if he can get into the habit of letting you know when one is starting, you can help get him to a safe place. As he is raging, try not to show any frustration or fear. Talk clearly and calmly. Many times not even talking may help since your voice is adding to his processing his surrounding; more to process and not able to, thus more rage? What type of things does he do during a rage? If he punches, try to direct him to punching a pillow or punching bag. If he tears things apart, have a pile of magazines or newspapers ready for him to shred. Whatever you think he does during a rage, that is his way of getting that frustration out - find a safe way to meet that need without harming people or things. I would first focus on just getting him to come to you when the stomach starts. However, he may need medications before anything will help. Once you find out the reason behind this (a diagnosis) then medications will be able to help take the edge off this. I think the meanness is because he does not feel well. When he starts that attitude, ask him if his stomach has started to tighten. It may start sooner than he thinks? [/QUOTE]
