Violent melt downs and running away

chezzy

My 5 yr old daughter has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS....in the last week or so when she has a meltdown she has become more violent than usual and has started to run away; if we are outside she just runs off if we are inside she goes out the front door. 

I now have to keep my front door locked and my keys hidden (keys have been lost several times as my memory is awful!) 

I just need ways to cope with her trying to run off/out...help?

    All I can honestly say, is that it does get easier as they get older, but only because you don't have to go after them. If my daughter runs off now, I just let her go as I know she will be back when she's ready

    This sounds familiar. I used to sometimes run off. The first time, I was talked back into going somwhere where I didn't really want to go. Every other time it happened, I was left to come back when I was ready.
