[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81618, member: 1233"] The Explosive Child thread posted above will very likely be your best friend. Get some info on sensory integration disorder, it plays a role in many of the problems kids have, even if it isn't something someone wants to actually diagnose. One resource that will help as you go along is The Out of Sync Child Has Fun. It has activities to provide different levels of sensory input. After a while you will get an idea of what the child likes as far as noises, movement, textures, etc... This book is mostly easy and inexpensive ideas to help provide these things. And just like lavender relaxes and a soft blankie can soothe, certain types of sensory input can tame the savage 7yo (well, help at least) Proper training in safe restraint methods for children is crucial for both your health and the child's health. Most of all, please remember that no matter how hateful the child may seem, no matter how violent, he clearly has some sort of real problem (or likely group of problems) going on. He isn't CHOOSING to be BAD. He may be making bad choices, but he may also not be able to make other choices at this time. Hugs to you, you are truly a warrior for this child, even if you aren't his mom. It is obvious you care, and that in itself may be something new in his life (or it may not, as evidenced by the numbers of us with kids like this here). Susie [/QUOTE]
