[quote=Anonymous]DC has always been a bit high strung, but it has gotten so bad this year. Whenever we tell him to do something he doesn't want to do, or whenever he gets frustrated with say homework, he loses it - screams at us, yells dramatic statement like he hates everything, runs upstairs, slams his bedroom door. He is 9, not 15! When he has calmed down we talk to him about leaving the room when he feels like this, taking deep breaths, etc, but in the moment he can't do it - it's like a switch is flipped and he can't calm down. He never threw tantrums like this as a toddler. Any suggestions how to help him work through his anger/frustration in appropriate ways?[/quote]
