Natural Consequences
About 80% of Kola's rages occur at mealtimes. We're trying to figure out the reasons. Last night, he missed supper because he only calmed down (barely) when it was time to leave for his Ukrainian dance class.We returned home several hours later, way past his bedtime. He was hungry, but Jonathan had stored all the food and cleaned the kitchen. We told Kola that his opportunity to eat had been at suppertime, but that he had chosen to kick and scream instead. Now it was time to get to bed as quickly as possible.
He was very hungry by breakfast time. I'm waiting to see if tonight's meal will be more peaceful.

Since Kola's rages seem to be at mealtimes, the thought occurred to me "Is he diabetic and is his blood glucose really low?"
That's a good insight--thanks! When Kola received his post-adoption medical appointment and bloodwork with our pediatrician, diabetes wasn't an issue. But that was two years ago, and it's worth looking at this again.
