[QUOTE="wethreepeeps, post: 16279, member: 3436"] [ QUOTE ] Is he able to learn to label his feelings of frustration and then learn to handle that in a better manner? In other words...could you maybe try teaching him to learn what it feels like to feel frustrated by rewarding him when he says Im mad about this. Then teach him to put the item down softly...another reward... walk away...another reward. This may take months and months of repetition and I would imagine that you would have to catch him in the act and reward him immediately with something like a small piece of candy. I dont know...just throwing out an idea. Maybe you could ask someone like a behavioral therapist who works with developmentally delayed kids. [/ QUOTE ] Unfortunately, this hasn't worked. He goes from zero to full blown rage in a heartbeat. He's knocked out windows, kicked holes in the sheet rock, kicked the cat until I had to adopt it out, thrown textbooks at teachers. It's like a three year old's tantrum, but in an 80lb 8 year old. He also learns the reward systems pretty quickly and will approach me and say, "I feel mad and I'm not screaming, so give me some candy. I want two pieces this time or I will scream." He's been through two cognitive behavorial therapy programs, and the last one said he lacks the ability to develop emotional insight and recommended an 18 month residential treatment program. But we live in Louisiana, and there is no voluntary residential treatment here. [/QUOTE]
