[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 373345, member: 3419"] Welcome, Ikeeptrying. I agree with-Marg, that if your husband can't come up with-an alternative, it's put up or shut up. Besides, you're not locking your daughter in a room. You are putting her in a safe place to cool down. Call it her safe place, or her cool down place. Make sure there are no breakables around. It can be her own bedroom, but then you have to remove lamps and expensive dolls or books, which at this point, you should have removed anyway. I also agree with-the others that she needs to be seen by a professional. Obviously the holding plan is not working. You are getting too banged up. I was taught the holding technique by our child psychiatric but frankly, it only lasted about 2 mo's because by the time I learned it, difficult child was almost my size and definitely stronger than I was. I would get so sweaty, I couldn't hold him and my hands would slip off of his skin. Also, as several people here mentioned, it depends upon the kid. It will calm down some kids, but it will cause other kids to escalate. Definitely, keep your kids apart. You've got to protect the 2-1/2 yr old. What sets off your daughter? Can you observe her and watch for triggers? Like transitioning from TV to lunch, or going out the door for an appointment, or sharing with-her younger sibling? [/QUOTE]
