Do difficult child's ever respect the hands that feed them?

[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 585547, member: 11791"] Just tossing an alternative perspective out there... How do [I]you[/I] know what [I]he[/I] is thinking? Maybe he isn't thinking that at all. For example, my difficult child had major tantrums - but they were never pre-meditated to get him X or Y. They were a reaction to overload, and whatever the trigger was, was simply the last straw. It was all the other straws that were the "real" problem... as in, [I]just too many straws[/I]. All three of these issues - tantrums, violence and threats - are an attempt to re-gain control. The wrong way. But... what's the REAL trigger? [/QUOTE]
