[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mean this in a cruel way, but he's not THAT emotionally intelligent if he can't connect his hair trigger temper and being mean with not having friends. It sounds like he gets bursts of anger and doesn't know how to calm himself down, so anger management would help him. [/quote] OP again - this is the toughest part. He makes the connection between his moodiness and pushing people away, but can only control his responses some of the time. Like the other day he came home from school and told me "It was a hectic morning, and that made me grouchy, and then everyone was yelling and I got really angry and frustrated. But then at recess I realized that my bad mood might make other people have a bad day, so I decided to turn my attitude around." That is a verbatim quote. So clearly he can sometimes rein in his emotions, but other times just loses control of them.[/quote] OMG, OP, I want to hug him.[/quote]
