[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I do agree that it’s developmental. We need to find the balance between teaching some coping skills, stressing that screaming is for emergencies, and possible time outs. He doesn’t do this at camp, Sunday school, school, play places. Only at home. So he can control it, right?[/quote] Yes, if he is able to keep the lid on elsewhere, but at the same time, he does it with you because you are his safe space. When my sensitive son did this at this age, if I possible could, I went to him when I could see him brimming over and had him sit in my lap. I'd tell him to hug me and we'd work on breathing. My DH hated that I did that and wanted to punish him, but I found that it calmed him so much more quickly if I touched him/engaged with him in some way, and THEN when he was calmer, we could talk through appropriate/inappropriate behavior etc.[/quote]
