Two steps forward,one step back

We have come along way since the last few posts. We have made some great progress with C's behavior at home. Bedtime has become more structured,yet calmer. The angry outbursts have been minimal and if he does start to show anger,he has been able to pull himself together.

Being the parent of a child with special needs you should know better to let your guard down. But,I did. I started to think maybe we would never see his angry side again. But,I was wrong. It came out the other night at bedtime and it was violent. We got away with only a few scratches and nothing was broken in the process,so I guess THAT is an improvement. I understand that the anxiety and anger may never go away. I do hope that we will be able to teach him how to manage and control his emotions without hurting himself or others. We are making progress though,and this I have to remember.
