[QUOTE="fun fam, post: 606288, member: 15196"] I have read the explosive child. The problem is, my son doesn't want to talk about making a plan or putting two concerns on the table to come up with a solution. When you bring stuff up, he shuts down and either throws things, or just sits there mute. I have never been successful at making a plan with him. My son has the same types of meltdowns as yours, Midwest mom. Number 1, 2, 3 and 5 all sound familiar. However, he takes it a step further and decides every issue is husband or my "fault" and he needs to hit/kick us to get his frusteration out. Like, for example, he will ask "When is Grandma coming?" If we say "around 8 pm" he will expect her to be there right at 8 pm. When 8 pm hits, he gets very upset, says we lied to him, and is immediately hitting and kicking us. Or...we are at the park and he trips and falls. He will say that I "made" him fall--even if I am standing far away from him--and will run to me to hit/kick me. Or--I go a different way home because of traffic. He says I am going the wrong way--like your son--but then he unbuckles himself and is throwing things at my head because I am making him so angry by going a different way and I need to pay for it. (that's how he would explain it) [/QUOTE]
