[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t just quit, but I would use each time as a learning experience. First, I would point out things that don’t go your way and show him how you can get over it. Or tell him stories about when you were frustrated at his age and how you moved past it. Then practice taking deep breaths when he’s calm, not just upset. Make it a family thing, same time each day, like bedtime. Then when you’re heading to the game, talk about what could happen if something doesn’t go his way. Tell him if he cries and screams, he will have to sit on the side with you until he calms down. Then if it happens, pull him immediately and make him sit with you. Set a timer on your phone and tell him if he calms down he can go back, but if he’s not calm in 4 minutes you’re going home. Don’t get mad at him, don’t lecture him, just do it. [/quote] Yes! Instead of punishment focused, be teaching focused. Do all what this PP suggested, OP!![/quote]
