[quote=Anonymous]Does he understand it is a problem and want to stop? My son had trouble settling himself down when he started getting angry or frustrated or even overly silly, but he HATED getting in trouble, and felt badly afterward. So he was motivated to find a way to stop himself. He selected a word I would say which meant "you are about to cross a line and you wanted me to help you not cross it. Shut it down, now." That word was Pizza, his choice. It helped some, but I think what helped more was the conversation and him deciding he wanted help. More often he'd look to me for help when he was out of control, and that ASKING for help was the most powerful thing to help him calm down. Snapped him out of it. If your kiddo doesn't see there is a problem and doesn't want to be more in control of himself, it may take a little more time to get him to that place.[/quote]
