[quote=Anonymous]OP, my son is also in third grade and also has some issues with emotional regulation. He is on the younger end for his grade. I found that what helps is expressing some sympathy, but then sending him into his room to calm down on his own. There's really nothing I can do to help him relax, and if I try to talk to him, reason with him, or fix whatever problem is making him have a tantrum, it tends to escalate things, drag the tantrum out, and make it worse. It is better to let him calm down on his own, and after a relatively short time, he will just look at books or play legos and calm down.[/quote]
