[quote=Anonymous]My son was the exact same way. We have worked a lot with him on this issue and it's gotten a lot better (1st grade was the worst year). In many ways it's a "good" thing because it signals that he is internally driven to achieve, but, he needs to figure out how to effectively channel his emotions. For my son, we emphasize that being upset about a loss is a waste of energy and that if he wants to dwell on things, he's better off figuring out what did/didn't work so that next time will be better. He also talked to the school counselor and she gave him some good strategies for calming down. [/quote]
