[QUOTE="navineja, post: 159544, member: 4278"] I must agree with Star- you can't really get rid of the anger, you have to teach them how to express it appropriately. Our therapist has suggested a basket by the back door with various items and cards in it, related to releasing anger or calming. When N is starting into a tantrum, I remind her that she needs to use her tools to control herself and then she can pick from the basket what she thinks will help her. (Works better than me telling her to do _____, due to the ODD) Her basket includes bubbles (blowing calms the breathing and heart rate), a ball to bounce, and cards listing activities (jumping jacks, run laps, etc). When I remember to use it, it works well for N. [/QUOTE]
