[quote=Anonymous]I'm here too.

I agree with PP who said stop reacting to the anger, stop engaging in it. But at the same time don't ignore it.

Your reaction will model how to handle conflict, remember that.

Is be calm, validating, but have boundaries. No raised voices, no storming off, no blaming or deflecting.

Just hear them out. If they are being verbally abusive or screaming, tell them you love them and support them but you will not be in the same room with someone who is yelling or being abusive and will continue the conversation with them when they are calm. And then leave the room.

Many times I find my ADHD kid is erupting/blowing off steam esp., after school, and the less I engage with it the faster it is over.

Whatever you do do not get in a yelling match, or try to make them take responsibility in the moment. There will be a time for that kind of discussion later when they have calmed down and got their central nervous system back on line.

Have you heard of the CALM technique?
