[quote=Anonymous]If it only happens 5 percent of the time, hug him and help him calm down! He isn't trying to be a jerk. He may be having a bad day or is tired or hungry or whatever. You have to give him tools to help him calm himself down, not punish him by forcing him alone into a dark closet. My son has ADHD and gets really worked up, both happy and upset at times, and we have some sensory toys that help him. But what works the best is to get him to take deep breaths in through his nose and out through his mouth - like smelling a flower and blowing out a birthday candle. We practice all the time so that when he is worked up and I need him to get back to calm, he can take the breaths and then listen to reason. [/quote]
