he probably didn't get what he wanted or there was a change in his routine. my brother with DS gets into tantrums whenever i say "NO" to him in a serious tone of voice. but if i say it to him in a nice, sweet way and explain to him why not, he would smile and listen to me. DS children are not open to changes. they want things how it were. with my brother, i do it gradually, until he sees that it won't harm him.
have patience with DS children. avoid pressuring them or showing them negativity.

Down Syndrome kids often have this problem. He is probably doing it because he gets attention for it. First, you have to show him that you are the Alpha Dog. Talk in low, adamant tones. When he uses bad language, at first tell him "No" and then give him something nice to say and praise him when he does it. If this does not work, completely ignore the bad language and go on with whatever you were doing. It is your attention that is keeping the behavior going.
This child is addicted to negative attention, so you are going to have to do four things all of the time until the behavior changes:
1. Completely ignore the bad words.
2. Give him a TON of love and attention when he is being appropriate. You must change the addiction to a love of positive attention.
3. Teach him what you want him to say when you are not embroiled in an argument. Heavily reward him while you are doing this.
4. If he tries to hit you, tell him, "Hands Down" and put his hands down. Practice this as above.
Remember, it is up to you to STOP reinforcing this behavior. Make a plan and be sure the personnel at the school follow it. You might also ask to have a school district behavior analyst come out and help with a plan for school.

I don't know this child or his situation. So I can't say specifically why his is so angry.
I have a six year old boy with Down syndrome (DS). I see him getting frustrated when people don't understand him or when he is unable to do things that others can. Because people with DS have low muscle tone throughout their bodies, their speech is comprimised as well as their ability to do things others can do easily. In addition, their I.Q. is lower than the average person so they don't always understand situations.
If someone could reach out to this boy and try being a friend, try to understand him (there are devices available that will help him to communicate) I think you would see a change in him.

I am waiting for someone to answer your question. I have a child with down syndrome, he is only 6 months though so I have no idea how he will act yet, but everyone always stereotypes DS saying that they are all loving happy kids so I am very curious to see the answers.

As a confirm, you're a variety on your baby. Your baby made a adverse selection. He might oly have been exhibiting off to his acquaintances, in spite of the fact that if it would not substitute the actuality it grew to become into incorrect and disgusting. Your question looks to basically encompass in spite of the fact that if or to no longer pass scare the family members it fairly is attempting to sue you to your sons strikes. The sparkling and elementary answer isn't any. Going to their living house might in all possibility advance the charges and can deliver the incorrect message on your son. rather of studying whilst to ask for forgiveness and admit whilst one has performed incorrect, he will proceed to make errors and doubtless sometime finally end up in detention center. it fairly is a touch on the topic of as a destiny confirm and a instructor to study which you experience no sorrow and anger at your individual sons strikes. in spite of the fact that if the youngster had down syndrom or no longer, would not provide your baby the properly suited to bodily harm yet another baby. based on your strategies-set, i might say the mothers and fathers of the youngster with Down Syndrom are making the properly suited selection in suing. the reason I say it fairly is because of the fact your strategies-set and placed up show a loss of parenting and somebody desires to tutor your 12 twelve months outdated son there is outcomes. Your very final remark with reference to the youngster with Down Syndrome. You do understand that Down Syndrome and Autism are a number of issues. a baby could have the two, yet they are very diverse. each baby has the properly suited to an training. No baby asks to be bullied on. Many infants without disabilities get bullied and terrorized. Sending a baby with a incapacity isn't an invitation for bullying to ensue. maximum mothers and fathers and instructors coach that there are modifications and approximately popularity. ultimately, it fairly is approximately coaching incorrect and perfect. Your boy had no perfect to have his palms on the different baby (in spite of the fact that if he/she had down syndrome or no longer). in case you do no longer take a seat and talk how incorrect his strikes have been and the actuality that he might might desire to stand the criminal outcomes of his strikes, you will basically proceed to have issues sooner or later.

first of all, try and remember the behavioral characterisitics of a down sydrome child. one unique feature is their stubbornness. another is they are very observant, which means that they have the ability to imitate behaviors of others based on their observation. also, they tend to have limited understanding of social situations (e.g. what is appropriate behavior and what is not) becos of their cognitive abilities.
bearing these in mind, your child may have learn some of these inappropriate behaviors via observation of others/media/etc. becos of their lack of social behaviors and stubbornness, it doesnt help if you simply try to stop him whenever he is talking ugly. being inherently stubborn meant that you need to establish firm ground rules so that there is more structure and less room for bargaining (in the form of misbehaviors).
all behaviors are functional. for children with special needs, consider either of the following functions of his behaviors: (1) tangible(e.g. rewards/food) (2) attention (3) task avoidance. observe his behaviors and see which of these functions his behavior serves. if he is talking ugly for attention, then ignore him whenever he is talking ugly to get your behavior. you can teach him a replacement behaviors, e.g. raising his hand, when he need ya attention. if he is misbehaving whenever he is request to complete a chore, then insist on the chore being done even after the tantrum. the message to the child is that tantrums are not functional to avoid tasks.
children learn to use behaviors to get tangibles (e.g. food/rewards). if he is doing so, refrain from giving him to his demands. be careful as during the initial stage, child's behaviors will worsen as he may be used to doing so to get his way. put him in a safe corner to prevent harm to himself/ourselve. after the time-out, talk and reason with child when he is calm. let child understand why he is denied his way. try and teach an appropriate behavior to replace his mis-behaviors.
the key is to be firm. and. consistent.
