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!!

  • So relieved you posted this.  It is reassuring to read, my four year old had a massive meltdown yesterday in the supermarket.  I had prep, he wore a hat, we had our pec shopping list but then he lost his toy and . . . . Well I carried him out whilst he was hitting me, pulling my hair out and then trying to strangle me (which is a new one).  I always keep calm and don't react, it doesn't help when other people start tutting or say they would 'leather' him.  He isn't an angry child at all, just when he has meltdowns.

    how do others cope if meltdowns happen when you are out?
