[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing that helped my kid like this was medicating his ADHD.   When he didn’t have to work SO HARD to keep it together all day long, he still had emotional energy to keep it together over small stuff like spilled drinks.  [/quote]

I think that most professionals would laugh at him being medicating for this. He’s a really easy going kid in school and any kind of sports, self motivated and does his hw and work by himself, has never had a single behavioral issue at school or prek. Has a ton of friends and great relationships with teachers and coaches.  I asked the counselor to get involved bc it’s an issue with us. [/quote]

The whole naming the feeling does not work for my kid age 8 and had not for years. In fact she resents me telling her how she feels - wouldn’t you if an adult said something like you must be upset etc. I say “what’s going on with you” and she will say I’m mad and I say that’s ok to be mad. I let her name the feeling vs telling her how she feels. [/quote]
