[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MYOB. It sounds like they are doing evidence based therapy to deal with aggressive behavior - which absolutely would involve praising incremental improvements like voluntarily giving back items without hitting.[/quote]

I agree. I see that situation not as them praising him screaming at your kid but at praising the subsequent action of being flexible. I know it’s hard because you are the parents so you feel very protective and attacked.[/quote]

This. There's no worse feeling for me than when my SN child really is doing well and making progress in something and another adult thinks/says that he's not doing it well enough or that I'm not disciplining enough.  Most SN parents have to learn to just ignore this criticism bc parents of neurotypical kids usually thinks it's lazy parenting. You would drive yourself crazy explaining all the strategies to others in detail.

For the younger child, explaining we all have differences and challenges and this cousin has a challenge with emotions and violence. Obviously if it's to the point of danger or abuse you need to make a call for your child but this is family and you may be surprised by how empathetic your own child can be to his cousin.  Kids that act out don't want to be bad, maybe the cousin and his parents can explain to your kid how he feel in moments like that and how he is working to make it better. [/quote]
