[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 344538, member: 6546"] I read this post several times... And I want to respond in a way that will not hurt your feelings. So here it goes...and I do apologize if I sound harsh: It sounds like you are saying that head injuries cause him to stop raging/tantrumming. While this may be true--you know very well that it does not make it "Okay" to smack him upside the head when he is out of control. I think you are asking if this small injury is OK if it prevents larger injuries or saves other people. Sorry--still not OK. So what to do? I think you need to talk to the psychiatrist/therapist first. See if there is a medication that can help control these rages so they don't last for hours and hours if you yell... Does the doctor recommend that you call 911 for assistance next time this child is dangerously out of control? Perhaps he needs to be transported to psychiatric hospital next time he reaches that level? I have also heard that ice cubes work as a good "shock factor" when you need to snap someone out of what they are doing. Could you have placed ice on the back of his neck? Just a few things to think about... Hope today is a better day for you and your family. --Daisyface [/QUOTE]
