[quote=Anonymous]Yep. My sensitive 7 y.o. son does this all the time, as does another friend of his. He "hates his life, wants to die and is stupid" all because he cannot master something fast enough. When it happens we take a break and I talk through it w/ him and focus on the positives. He's smart--but a perfectionist and very self-critical. I talked to the school counselors and now he gets pulled out of class for about 45 mins per week to have a "group" session w/ other kids to better understand and show feelings of frustration. Also we made a couple running jokes and trigger words to lighten the tension when he starts to get frustrated. [/quote]
