[quote=Anonymous]OP it's good you were honest on here. First off, do not ever threaten to physically harm your kid and don't grab him when angry. Bad news. Also, an 11 year old does not gave a ton of coping methods yet. Silent treatment is NOT emotional abuse at this age in this circumstance. It is a helluva lot better than him throwing things, tantrumming, hurling insults or destroying something. If you want him to have better tools, get him help, but enough with people saying an 11 year old who is upset is being emotionally abusive by not talking. Kids this age are often not mature enough to deal with regulating themselves with phones. It's a lot easier to set and reinforce boundaries before you give the phone, but too late for that. Time to calmly establish boundaries and if you can't reinforce get help from a therapist.[/quote]
