[QUOTE="Malika, post: 488020, member: 11227"] Yes, I do actually agree with you MWM. And I am seeing a hypnotherapist at the moment, to help with my "stuff" related to past trauma and how it plays out with the stress of J when he is being difficult. Or extremely bloody difficult as he sometimes is on occasion... I don't believe in hitting. And I know it is counter-productive. The trouble is (and it's not an excuse on my part), time outs simply are impossible because of J's great strength (as a baby he would hold one of my fingers and I could not prise it off - seriously) and the layout of our house. His bedroom is upstairs and to get upstairs one has to go up a narrow, winding staircase - simply impossible with a child who does not want to be taken and has the strength to resist. I agree that having a room with little in it and staying by the door until the child is calm would be a good solution. The good days... J is a delight and our relationship strengthens. On the bad ones.. I feel everything falling apart. He is a child, like all of our children, who demands special treatment. Sometimes I'm up to it and sometimes I'm not. And, yes, it is hard on my own. [/QUOTE]
