[QUOTE="jannie, post: 42078, member: 2074"] I am sorry your child had to be in a ten minute restraint. I will say, however, that I am trained in restraint as a special educator and I have had to use it on a number of occasions over the years. A restraint is the most restrictive method of behavior management. It should only be used when the child is in serious danger of hurting self or others. When it is necessary that hands go onto a child it is necessary to wait until they are totally calm before releasing. If not, kids behavior often escalates and the anger cycle starts again. I am [b]not[/b] saying that the school was properly trained nor am I saying it was the correct time to restrain, but I do believe that it is typical to have a 10 minute restraint. We do not relase until body is calm and voice is calm. My focus is always at trying to recognize that a problem is brewing and try to diffuse the situation prior to escalation. I do agree that restraints can cause increased agitation and anger, but I do know there are times when a child is totally out of control and safety is a big issue. [/QUOTE]
