[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 55207, member: 3419"] How old is your difficult child? The Holding Technique really only works when they're pretty young. My son is 10 and we're way past that. I understand what the dr was saying about how the child is still winning by raging for so long, but I like Witzend's idea better, where the child must leave the area. I noticed that our son calms down much more quickly because A) there's no audience, and B) we are not exacerbating the situation by trying to force him into either a conversation or argument. Obviously, feeding into rages is a component, but I think your dr is missing other factors. Is that ALL that was offered? Clearly, it's not normal for a kid to do that (or none of us would be here!) Sounds like a limited vision cheap shot to me. I agree with-the others that you need another opinion and concrete suggestions. [/QUOTE]
