[quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old DD was like this - 0-100 in 2 seconds flat when things did not go her way. But would calm down (sometimes) immediately and say I was the best mom EVER! She has gotten better with time. I also talk with her to help her realize how her body feels (green zone - calm, yellow zone - getting angry, red zone - temper tantrum). We talk about calming strategies when she feels her body entering the yellow zone. If she goes into the red zone I just walk away and go into another room or upstairs. Sometimes she follows me screaming and stomping. I try to remain calm at all costs! After she is calm, I approach her on her level and touch her arms if she'll let me. I say, "I think you were trying to tell me something but I can't hear you when you yell. I'd love to hear what you have to say." Good luck! and hugs to all the moms with explosive children. [/quote]
