Ahhh and there is the real meltdown of today's events. Poor Evan

What can I do for him when he gets this way? He gets really snappy at everyone (tonight Glenn being in his way was what set him off). Can't be reasoned with so I usually send him into his room. BUT while he is in there he rips things up, pull things apart & generally just breaks anything he can get his hands on. Obviously the ripping etc is helping him vent but far out! He doesn't think at all & he is destroying expensive things.

DH thinks we should get him a boxing bag! But in all honesty, he wouldn't punch it, he would take to it with a knife & pull it apart. I had thought about making him (getting him to help to take out that element of curiosity & temptation to pull it apart) some little sacks with rice or sand, something grainy or even little ball bearings & some magnets inside so they can join & giving him those to have like a stress ball. But I dunno, I think that would be good for general day to day BUT Im just not sure what to offer when he is in overload/meltdown mode.
