[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 414105, member: 6546"] Stacy-- You know, it almost sounds to me as though the reason he deliberately does things that he knows will get a reaction from you is because HE needs the "outlet" of a battle... And when you did not give him the fight he wanted? He went to make some trouble for his brother! So, the REAL problem may be teaching him to find an alternative method. Maybe he is seeking more stimulation? Maybe he is venting unpleasant emotions? Maybe he is experiencing anxiety? Who knows? I'm sure that he will not be able to articulate those feelings - because if he [I]could[/I], he wouldn't need to go fight with somebody to feel better. Meanwhile, the best solution probably is "containment". Keep things out of reach and out of harm's way, if possible... I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this. Many (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
