[QUOTE="Coffee Lover, post: 710971, member: 21380"] My son is an "explosive child" and we have had outbursts like what you're explaining. My heart goes out to you. I cannot say we've had it at a birthday/celebration time though - I can see where that adds another level of difficulty to a difficult situation. Sometimes, when our son goes through periods that are exceptionally high with frequent violent outbursts, I do a "time in". I take him for a day with just me and we go do something that just lets us forget our daily drama. Sometimes just for an hour or two even if we need a fast escape. Maybe go get some lunch 1 on 1 and a pedicure then have cake with the family. Recognize it for her sake, but keep it low key since others are definitely feeling hurt too? This is so hard, I'm really sorry you're having to sort this all out amidst birthday time. Happy birthday to her (and you!) though! [/QUOTE]
