I am going through a hard time right now. My dd (6)is, i think suffering from either/both aspergers and dyslexia/ dyspraxia - I am in the process of getting her on the pathway to being assessed. it's convuluted obviously and i have posted on a couple of other threads. her younger brother is much more able/ happy/ sociable than she is. However he gets massive massive tantrums and rage. and it is getting worse. he is 4. He is also getting obsessive about food stuffs - won't have avocado near his breadsticks, etc... he is totally irrational, impossible to reason with and punishments. sticker charts. deprivation of things just don't seem to move him. I find the combination of the two of them utterly debilitating. i honestly think of handing them into the police station/ hospital or wherever and just running away. I try so hard to stay calm and not shout but it is pushing me to the edge right now. I get a bit of time away from them but the school run and collection is just horrific every day as anything could and invariably does happen. what can i do and where can I turn? anyone know how to deal with very very angry children?!
