[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 97226, member: 1991"] With giving kids a break from medication - I'm beginning to think that idea was never really tested "in the field" before they told us to go do it. difficult child 1's rebound whenever he came off ritalin (or was between doses during the day) included some spectacular rages. And about rages - while there may be a specific disorder to account for it, sometimes kids just rage, especially if there is something else wrong. When you're a difficult child life is much harder than for other kids, raging is often a reaction to "I can't cope, nothing is going right for me." difficult child 3 rages a lot. So does easy child 2/difficult child 2. While these days I can see a trigger most times, especially with that wonderful 20:20 hindsight, the actual time interval between the trigger and the rage onset can be less than 2 seconds. Mostly, the trigger is something someone says or does, to apparently 'block' either one of them. And yes, there is no point trying to discuss it while they are raging. We just ride out the storm and THEN try to talk, as far as we can (which may not be that far). It IS something we're trying to sort for easy child 2/difficult child 2, with counselling. But with both of them - I feel it's part of their Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), nothing else. Marg [/QUOTE]
