my son has a great deal of difficulty dealing with frustration... whether it be with a person or an event... he just can't seem to cope in a non-embarrassing way... how can i help him?
if my wonderful boy is frustrated he typically has a meltdown and he'll either cry, mope or act out aggressively... for example, if a tablet doesn't respond to his input or is "laggy", he'll get really frustrated and get so upset that he'll either throw it or break it... if his "friend" acts out against him "unfairly" in a minecraft game, he'll explode on him and scream at him at the top of his lungs saying "you shouldn't have done that!"... if there's a situation at school where he doesn't think things are fair he may just cry...
is it expected that my child should "overreact" in such a way? how can i teach him to cope? is there a specialist/therapist that i can take him to?
thank you.
