[QUOTE="CLB4, post: 145746, member: 5028"] I'm back! You have no idea how encouraging it is to come here and read all of your ideas and feel your support. The past 3 days, we tried some other strategies which allowed him to get through his anger without fueling it to the point of him raging for 20 minutes. They worked! First, We gave him a space where when he began to feel anxious or upset he went there and with his teacher's help talked about what he wanted and why he was mad. The area is a quiet space, where he can go and remove himself from the hustle and bustle of the classroom. (I think that sometimes the classroom gets too overwhelming being a lively Kindergarten class and all) A few times he even moved to that area on his own, rejoining the group on his own after about 5 minutes or so. Other times, his teacher suggested it, but it was not met with the screaming, cursing, and other behaviors we usually got when we tried to curb his behaviors. I also suggested he not participate in one of his specials with a teacher who, how do I say this nicely, needs alot of work in coping with children of different abilities. We finally noticed that when he went to her class he would come back about 10 times worse. We substituted a therapy session during that time, where he is able to talk to our couselors but also go outside, play talk and learn some other strategies for trying to cope with his emotions. For the first time in along time, he had 3 concurrent days of no hitting, biting, or primal screaming. He did have a tantrum but nothing like before. I called mom and left her a message that we are trying some different techniques and I would like to talk to her about them. No response, but Monday is a new day, so I'll try again. Again, thanks for your support. I've been reading alot of books and articles as well as remaining positive. I am confident that we will uncover the best combination so that my student can thrive to the best of his abilities. As always, if any of you have any thoughts or suggestions, I'm all ears. [/QUOTE]
