Such a hard situation I empathize with you 100%. You’re hitting the nail on the head with the idea that the intervention needs to happen before he is completely dysregulated. A great step would be to sit down and talk about how anger feels in his body when it’s starting to rise. The more he can become self-aware of when his stress level is rising the better the odds of engaging successfully in a calming strategy. Another suggestion is to problem solve around better choices when he is calm and create visuals to help with follow through. I think you’d really appreciate the content I share on my other facebook page (which strictly relates to children’s mental health)…I am around the page often doing fb lives on topics like this. https://www.facebook.com/childrensmentalhealthrocks/

We have tried many different approaches with our still tantruming 8 yr old son. He behaves perfectly at school (excellent yr end report recently) but melts down at the slightest thing at home. He has a cosy corner in his room to calm down but we can’t get him to go to it when he is full flow. He is increasingly violent towards my husband and I when we try to intervene. He wants to ‘calm down’ watching tv but turning the tv off e.g. at meal / bedtime is what often triggers the anger. He also has problems turning off technology but that is limited because of this. Any suggestions on how we can get him to recognise the need to calm down in the agreed space?!
