Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Okay, so my 12 yr old son with ocd is so calm and agreeable. He is really asymptomatic. He is a joy to be around and has a very pleasant personality. My 9 yr old daughter is brilliant and knows it and so is can get rather obnoxious, but seems like a normal kid. My 7 yr old daughter probably has some ocd and is very moody, but is controllable and responds to discipline. My 5 yr old daughter has these horrible, horrible rages. I've never seen anything like it but I am hoping those of you with raging children can help me some here. What constitutes a rage over just a child trying to get their way, as in ... how do you know if it is something they can help or cannot help. Anything you say to her that goes against what she wants develops into a full blown rage. She doesn't cry, she wails. She kicks and screams and is unresponsive. These moments can last for up to an hour at a time - usually when it ends she has screamed herself to sleep. Now, at preschool, which she attends 5 days a week for a regular school day, she is fine. Her teachers say she is a joy. Home is a different story. But sometimes I catch her raging and then stopping and in a completely normal voice, talking to someone for a moment, and then going back into her rage, which leads to me believe that at least partially, she is being manipulative. Would you take her in to the dr and would you try to videotape some of her behaviors so they can see it in action? What is the best way to handle something like this? Thanks for any advice you may have. in TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
