How do you calm down a violent teen?
My 14 y.o can become extremely aggressive and violent and nothing can calm her down...
I need help since I have no clue how to keep her and my other kids safe...
This morning she became distressed when her sister (13 years) sprayed something in the bedroom. My teen (with autism) then told her not to and started closing the curtains in their bedroom (which they share). My other teen then opened the curtains and the window then hell kicked off...
My teen (with autism) shut them again, then my other daughter told her not to.
Anyways.... they started fighting and I tried splitting them up since they were screaming, kicking, punching, and when I thought is was over, it started again... But my autistic daughter grabbed a pair of scissors and wanted to stab her sister with it...
All hell broke loose and I managed to take the scissors away from her. But how do I stop them from fighting next time? How do I keep my son and daughters safe? How do I calm her down?
Any help is very much appreciated. I'm lost and at my wits end...
Hi - I don't want to derail the thread but, while what you've put here is technically true, it's a bit heavy handed. The world is full of chemicals - I know people who inhaled H2O and died! All fragrances / smells are chemicals - it's all just combinations of those same chemicals that create totally natural smells too. The propellants used are totally natural chemicals too.
In very large quantities, lots of things are toxic. Smelling Ammonia won't hurt you at all - it's all natural - it's horrible - but in large quantities it's nasty stuff.
How about this - A good dose of LSD will not harm you, You Plastic... You can consume it and it will be nasty possibly terrifying but it won't cause any long term harm, physically. It is just a chemical so if I dont consider you and accidentally drop some in your coffee - so what, dont worry about. It is uncomfortable and scary but so what - it won't 'Hurt' you. No?
