[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 523332, member: 5663"] Age 4 was the year from h*ll. You get one bad year, 2, 3, or 4, and my ODD child chose the latter. It was the age that she tested the boundaries the most and had the worst explosions. Was something else going on to trigger it? My daughter acts the worst when there is something else going on to stress out the whole family or she's overstimulated. She's also VERY sensitive to food dye, and will go completely bonkers if she gets it. Look up the Feingold diet, it's for ADHD kids, but diet changes make a huge difference in many of our kids. It's the easiest thing to take out of one's diet to begin with. Just read the labels, you'd be surprised at the things that are brightly colored that use natural foods for dyes. There are other "diets" you can explore, but are harder to do with an entire family (like the Gluten free/casein free diet). You state he has eaten a lot of junk food, so that may be part of it. I'm sure you're feeding your family well balanced meals, but our cr*ppy American diet is that...cr*ppy without realizing it. There are some other additives that can set people off, I just can't remember them right now. Work on whole foods, cooked at home, non-canned (BPA is in the liners), not out of a box. I have locked my daughter in her bedroom, but it's for MY protection and so she can kick and scream in her room where it's safe. I sit in front of the door until she's done, and it's never more than 5 min or so (maybe longer if I need to cry it out). I doubt the ex did it for that reason (because she left), but it's possible she couldn't handle their outbursts so she put them in their room and overdid it. [/QUOTE]
