[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 62746, member: 1991"] MWM, you said, 'But he has asked me, "Why do I get so angry?"' Hormones. What did we do with difficult child 1? It was complex because part of it was him being erratic about taking his medications, but we ensured he was stable (either always on, in our case, or not being mucked around by trying this, or that). Plus the pediatrician put him on Zoloft. Sorry, I know you wanted a non-medication answer, but not with difficult child 1. Off medications he's far more inclined to be violent. Less so now he's older, but still an issue. He knows it now and has more self-control, but while hormone levels are dramatically changing, they instability just makes them even worse. They have a hard enough time just coping with small changes in their environment. When the changes are also in their own body - chaos! Marg [/QUOTE]
