[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 544606"] Ignore the ignorant friends that have perfect children where those fun little charts work. I am glad you recognize that NONE of those things are going to work with your little guy. My son also has those very blind rages so I know exactly what you mean. They came really close to kicking him out of kindergarten after only 2 days. Just out of curiosity, have you considered medications for B? Are you open to the possiblity or is that a road you don't want to travel? The sensory processing disorder (SPD) friends "might" know what they are talking about. For some kids, swaddling during a rage works very well as a calming technique. However, there are some kids, like mine, where that would be enough to send them over the edge. Picture David Bannon ripping out of his shirt as he turns into the HULK only worse. It might be worth a try. Since you have already found your way to our "bible", I will only tell you about the other book that I found helpful. What Your Explosive Child Is Trying To Tell You by Dr. Doug Riley filled in some of the gaps for me when dealing with difficult child 1. Where the Explosive Child tells you how to problem solve, the other book gives you some ideas for those kids that might have a problem verbalizing what the real issue is. Between the two, you should get a really solid foundation to improve things. Welcome to our little family and I am so happy you found us. It sounds like you're learning a lot already.
