[QUOTE="Byrd, post: 302082, member: 7845"] That's a good idea. I have always subscribed to the concept of "confuse and distract." When he was raging this time, I just kept repeating "I love you, you're going to be ok." But a lot of that was just for me. I have rated his tantrums before..."That's not a very loud one. Yesterday you were much louder...come on, you can do better." But that just enrages him more. I got the book "The Defiant Child" today. Glad to see that I only have to read to chapter 6 before I reach the chapter entitled "After You Have Control." It makes me hopeful. difficult child had a good weekend, but I was out of the picture a lot. I have a rotten cold and husband spent much of the weekend with the boys while I rested in our bedroom. Today he punched his brother because the brother did something he didn't like. I didn't know how to respond. I hate that he gets away with it, but I also just didn't have the skill to reprimand him without enraging him. Lord please get me to the next therapy meeting. [/QUOTE]
