[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 324540, member: 3419"] He felt stupid? And scared? That's a huge breakthrough! Way To Go! My son yelled that he wanted to kill me, several times, too. We really got on his case and told him that he had to say he was mad at me, and punished him every time he said he wanted to kill me. It's been awhile now, but I think we took items out of his room and sometimes totally stripped down the room. I also had him write it down 50X. It allowed him to think about how "stupid" or "thoughtless" he was. Do NOT show you are afraid of him. It will only make it worse. You are in charge and you have to show you are in charge. In regard to the computer shutting down, I would set an egg timer for 5 min. b4 shutdown time so he has time to transition. Even if I knew my computer was going to shut down, I'd be ticked when it finally happened, and I'm not as volatile as these kids. So I'd help him out a bit. Don't change the rules, just make them easier to comprehend and cope with. [/QUOTE]
