[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 492641, member: 11791"] You don't answer a rage. You only answer the real person, and when they are in a rage, they are not the "real person". Ignore. Don't feed it, don't escalate it. Walk if you can - another room, or something. Once the rage is over - in this case, maybe next day... I'd be looking at what kind of activities need to be trimmed back, because if this is a regular or semi-regular occurence in the evening, it looks like he's running out of steam on some front before the day is done. So... either shorten after-school time, or reduce activities. But tell him what you are doing and why, let him be involved in what gets "deferred" (not dropped forever, just that "we" can't handle all of this right now). [/QUOTE]
