===When Your Child Can Harm Himself or Others=== If your child starts hitting, kicking, biting, or throwing things during a meltdown, stop him immediately and remove him from the place. Make it clear that hurting others is not acceptable. If necessary, take away a privilege or put him in timeout. If your child tries to hurt himself, do not react emotionally. Do what’s necessary to protect him: restrain him, take away the dangerous object or otherwise block him from doing harm. When Ricardo realized his son was testing his boundaries during a tantrum, he used the strategy he calls “poker face.” <blockquote> “He smashed his head into a washing machine and looked to see my reaction. By then I was well trained in ABA, and I ignored him. He never did that again. Had I not put on a poker face, it would have become a routine. The best way to stop him is to show that I don’t care. I block his hands so that he cannot do it again. If he bites himself, I put on my poker face and block him.” </blockquote>
