[QUOTE="Frieda, post: 692485, member: 18242"] My son does this once in a while, usually in the evening (medications wearing off, tired, brain getting loopy after a long day?). He also has a very poor understanding how his rants affect others. I was really mad about something the other day -nothing to do with him - and decided to just try an experiment and started ranting at him like he usually rants at me. He really freaked out saying "It is upside down world, I am scared.." He could not handle the emotions from someone else's rant. We talked later and I think it helped him understand how rants make other people feel. I don't know your kid but I think it is best to not take any of the energy and just deflect with something non-committal like the " I am sure you will figure it out' you used or a 'Interesting thoughts' and walk away. When he is calm it is a better time to talk with him about things he can do when he feels mad to get that energy out in a socially appropriate way, like going on a bike ride, write it down in a letter, poem, drawing, clean the heck out of a room - whatever works for him.
