[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 474244"] Hi, welcome to the board! I hope you don't mind some questions. We can help better with more info. do you have a safety plan? Do the other kids know what to do when the 9 year old melts down? Is he targeting the 6 year old or is he hurting the other kids as well. What is his emotional age? What supervision/prevention do you do? Do you have someone helping you implement behavior plans? In the past I would put up a baby gate in the middle of the hallway to make a no mans land between the kids and the time out room. Do you have a time out room? Have you been trained to do holds/restraints on kids? With difficult child 1 for everyone's protection it was necessary for me to restrain him until I could get him to the time out room. My difficult child 1 is on 24/7 supervision for his aggression towards his other siblings. It is very hard on me. Just tonight I looked away and my 3 year old ended up face first on the floor. difficult child 1 had done something. It is very hard. I believe natural consequences are the best for difficult child 1. When difficult child 1 does something like that he loses the privilege of siblings for a short time. I don't know if that is something that would work with your difficult child. Maybe a behavior plan where kind hands, kind words, and kind mouth earn video game. I have found that the child that is on difficult child 1's emotional level is the one he targets. Right now that is easy child 1. It used to be difficult child 2. difficult child 2 and difficult child 3 have now passed difficult child 1 in emotional age. How much testing have you gotten done? Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), Audiotory processing? I've found the more you know the better your reactions are. The better help you can get for difficult child.
