[quote=Anonymous]I have a child who has had emotional breakdowns in school -- to the point where we had to remove DC from that school. Things got much better at the new school, but our child still has issues with emotional regulation at home. Our child is on the spectrum; I'm not in any way suggesting that your child is. Anxiety could be part of the problem, low frustration tolerance, sensory issues... who knows. This needs a developmental pediatrician or psychiatrist as a first-line eval. While I don't think this is a parenting issue (like you are not being strict enough, etc.), I do think there are parenting strategies that you can use to help you help your child. Good luck. I know how heartbreaking it is to watch your child suffer when you feel like everything should be going well. :/[/quote]
