[quote=Anonymous]my 7 year old does not say he hates himself but he does get very frustrated very quickly..and often ends up in tears. it's when he thinks he's right about something i don't think he's right about or if he can't do or figure something out. he's very bright and has real perfectionist tendencies. we're tried some strategies like counting, me signalling him that he needs to calm down. the only thing that really works is a joke. distracts him and he's fine. if i talk to him about it later, he recognized that it wasn't that big a deal and agrees that he didn't need to cry. used to only do this at home but have heard that it's happened a few times at school lately. is this an age when this happens? any other ideas about how to approach?[/quote]
