Monday's Mama Drama
27 febr 2005
Got my questions from
Leona
- Does your child(ren) have recurrent temper tantrums?
My oldest had them when he was young.
My autistic boy till about a few months ago.
And my 16 year old.
- If so, how old is your child and how do you deal with it? :
My oldest when he was about 3 years of age.
I was told to take him up, hold him tight and close to me till he was finished and then let him free.
It worked.
After a couple of months it all stopped and never happened anymore.
My autistic boy never learned to deal with it himself.
I tried everything.. getting angry, ignoring, punishing, giving positive reïnforcement when he wasn't showing problems.
Then finally, when he also started to display them on a regular basis at school, we got medication.
So now he doesn't get as angry as before, is able to remember why he is angry and now he's learning to deal with irritation, not understanding matters etc.
Lars has angry days/weekends when he doesn't get what he wants.
In a way it has to do with his PDD-NOS, and in another way with manipulating us.
We tried to explain that the amount of money is limited, etc etc.
Now I feel the only way is to ignore it.
He certainly won't get what he wants after terrorising us if it's up to me.
