[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 438272, member: 11791"] Indirectly, yes - you're teaching him to replace a negative stressor (whatever is causing the problem) with a positive stressor (tickling). Some mild, calm intervention might have zero effect, because he's already too intense - so, instead of trying to put the fire out, you're "fighting fire with fire". And for some kids, it works. So go with it. As he gets older, you might have to try other high-intensity interventions (but I don't have any to suggest right now). [/QUOTE]
