[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 414086, member: 1631"] First of hugs! Your difficult child reminds me a lot of my difficult child at that age. It was so absolutely wearing and frustrating because it is so hard to know what is the right to handle things in a moment like that. For our difficult child we had to constantly try new things. He actually said to his 1st grade teacher that she would have to come up with something new because while that worked once it wouldn't work again! We would try to talk with him after the fact and discuss other choices he could make the next time in a similar situation. Sometimes that worked, sometimes not. He would say he knew other options but when he was in a rage he didn't want to choose them. We also tried distraction a lot. Again, sometimes it worked, sometimes not. I'm sorry you have to deal with the violence as well. There was a point when my difficult child was violent nearly every day and I started calling his psychiatrist every day. We have a great psychiatrist and he always wanted to know when difficult child was like this. At school does your son have an iep? It sounds like he could use supports in the classroom? Has he ever been evaluated by a neuro-psychologist? A neuropsychologist evaluation can be very helpful. Again, sending hugs your way. [/QUOTE]
