[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 553638, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome! If your child is truly out of control (and I mean they are actually INCAPABLE of self-control) then no, consequences will be useless. Instead, you may have to think in terms of "containment". Instead of thinking in terms of what a child that age *should* be able to do - you need to parent according to what your child is actually capable of doing. If your child has rages - you need to provide a safe place to rage where he cannot hurt himself. Remove glass items and other breakables from his bedroom. If that means he cannot have certain things in his room - then it is what it is. He can rage without breaking anything or injuring himself until he regains control. Then when it is over - it is over. Consequences, when appropriate, need to be logical. He puts a hole in the wall during a rage? He can help fix it. [/QUOTE]
