[QUOTE="Malika, post: 483510, member: 11227"] What "caused" the outburst was the fact that I took away the key and the little penknife that he had taken and wanted. If it weren't for that, the chances are we would have escaped without incident and he would have fallen asleep in the car... So outbursts are not inevitable, I think, but predicated on what is absolutely the ruling dynamic of J's life, which is that he wants what he wants and will not surrender his desire without an almighty fuss. What was different yesterday was the intensity and length of the outburst, which may have been additive- or too-much-sugar related. When there is no issue of being thwarted in some way, he is a delightful child. I suspect that is true of quite a few difficult children. And perhaps is the difference with your boy, Buddy, in that Q's outbursts are caused by seizures that he really cannot help? If I wanted to be old-fashioned (in the sense of a few centuries old :)), I could say that J has a character flaw... [/QUOTE]
