[QUOTE="slsh, post: 243904, member: 8"] I agree it's a treatment issue. I don't think there's a punishment in the world that is going to touch this. I do think school, having identified a real trigger, needs to modify how reading is presented. He's not going to learn to control himself, much less master reading, the way they're currently doing it. I do worry about the guns, or anything that could be used as a weapon, when you have an impulsive child in the house. When my difficult child started making a habit of threatening verbally or physically with knives, they all got locked up (along with forks, screwdrivers, hammers, etc) in a lock box with a keyed lock. I wore the key around my neck. The worst he could've done was spoon us to death. ;) We lived like that for well over a year. It's not that I ever thought it was his *intent* to hurt us, but his impulsiveness was just so completely over the top there was no guarantee what he would do in a rage. Also, I so clearly remember having to disarm him the second time and thinking - what on earth am I doing letting him have access to this stuff? It's a wicked balance of dealing with current level of behaviors without reinforcing them while working on the therapeutic and medication side to reach to better function. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
