Meltdown

flake

My 16 yr old gets very angry over the slightest thing, then he breaks his things, 3 TV's 2 phones tablet. All this year!! I start to panic when I hear the first sign of his meltdown as I know what's next, he costs me a fortune and I don't know what else I can do but just replace stuff to keep him happy!!

  • I think pressures at school in general have a big effect as my daughter doesn't like crowds or noise or bright light, and doesn't have many friends as she doesn't do 'girly talk' or 'chitchat' as she calls it, but she is well behaved at school.  So I can understand the pressure on her must be immense at times.  So when she gets home from school she just relaxes with the TV and her tablet, but is ready to explode about anything at all.  

    I'd like to find a way she can release at least some of her stress because I think it is just being bottled up inside her and that's why she 'explodes'.

    Your idea is a good one Longman, but she doesn't like doing diaries, so I guess it's a matter of catching her in the right frame of mind to discuss things which is what I do at the moment.

    It isn't only school days when she has rages but is weekends and holidays too, but as Longman has said, it could be from things building up over a long time.
