[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I think part of the most recent outburst was that they had promised to stop at a place that he likes to get a snack, but then it was mysteriously closed for no clear reason.  I get that is rough, but he's old enough not to be so reactive about it.[/quote]

There's "old enough" and then there's puberty.  In many ways my DS was more mature as a 4 year old than he was as a teen.

I agree with the PPs who said talk to him about it and brainstorm ways to prevent it from happening.  There's a happy medium between ignoring his behavior and strict discipline.  Talk to him, is it that he's hungry?  Is it because he doesn't like tutoring (and explain how yeah it sucks but it's not fair to grandma and grandpa who are just trying to help out)?  Is it that he's tired at the end of the day?  Sometimes just sitting and talking about it, but when you're both calm and distanced from the event, acknowledging how he feels, goes a long way.  And trying to figure out a game plan.  [/quote]
