[quote=Anonymous]I had a child like this, and everybody in the family can’t walk on eggshells trying to figure out what they might do for this child to explode.

First, I went to a psychologist to teach me how to parent this child. Basically, I kinda did the opposite with this child that I did with my other children, which was instead of putting them in timeout, etc by themselves I sat with them and showed them how to breathe through feelings.

Eventually, when the child was about third grade they went to a psychologist himself, and they learned about recognizing the feelings inside their body that might lead to an outburst. As soon as I felt those feelings, they learned how to remove themselves from the situation, breathe it out, understand why the situation was making them mad it might not make other people mad.

Also, my child did meditation apps because if you bring the anxiety level down when they do get frustrated, they’re not as close to outbursts as if they don’t meditate.

I also have this child do lots of sports to burn off energy.[/quote]
