[quote=Anonymous]If he is screaming and crying because a fish dies, it sounds like he has oversized feelings, not a "lack of empathy". 13 year old boys rarely have empathy for their parents, tbh. It sounds like you need help responding to his anxiety and big feelings. Get the book on SPACE therapy which is parent training for parents of kids with anxiety. Also, understand that you are modeling anxious responses to him by not finding ways to manage your own anxiety with him. I'm sure it's very frustrating to be dealing with him and his issues, but it sounds like you are having an overly emotional response to his reactions. Getting therapy to support yourself through this might give you better bandwidth to handle his disregulation. [/quote]
