Child with SEN violent behaviours help

[Witchesbelazy]

Hello my three year old has SEN no further diagnosis than that yet as in the process. Sometimes the outbursts I can tell something triggered it but today we were just sat watching tv and he came behind me and smacked my face really hard. Sometimes he does hit kick or bite for seemingly no reason but its never been this out of the blue. I dont know what to do we are waiting on professionals now and theres nothing we can do to rush that but Im just so lost on what to do. Not really sure what Im asking maybe if anyones children with additional needs seemingly hit without reason? He will be starting SALT but he can communicate enough with me to get attention or tell me something so I dont think it was that

Hi @Witchesbelazy , I am also in the same position! My DS is 3.5 and is yet to be officially diagnosed but is awaiting his SALT and Paediatrician appointment.
He also lashes out, sometimes it seems for no reason, sometimes something upsets him on TV he’s very sensitive and will lash out, or if he gets overwhelmed in a situation, also when he isn’t feeling 100% I can always tell if he’s going to come down with a cold, as he will behave a lot worse in the days before.

Its so difficult isnt it. Im having to get rid of all our wooden toys as he keeps launching them at people. The plastic is painful enough. Have you found anything that helps at the moment managing behaviour? Im at a loss
.

It is, today had been one of the tougher days! Hope your day has been ok!

He seems to understand now that throwing and hitting makes me sad, so he says sorry, but then does it again. Nothing really seems to work long term. What have you tried?

Do your child lash out at other kids too?
