[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 682732, member: 1550"] Roxona, you have exactly the right idea. A tantrum, once it starts, quickly explodes out of control and the child needs low stimulation and no talking to calm down. Every word is oil on fire, even nice words. A tantrum IS overstimulation. It has to burn out and die. I used to feel depressed, like killing myself, after a tantrum. I swore yo myself I'd never do it again, but in my heart, I knew it would happen again becsuse it was outside my control. I do not know and cant guess how this boy feels afterward. I thought I was crazy and hated myself, but your stepson may totally feel a different way. Without judgment, it may not hurt to ask him how his tantrums make him feel long AFTER he has settled down. He may not know how he feels. I did but we are all different. The more you know, the more info you have. It must have heen horrible for ss to lose his mother so young. Was he this way before she got sick? [/QUOTE]
