My 10 yr. old son struggles w/great anxiety, resulting in loss of sleep, resulting in outbursts exactly like you described. We started praying the scriptures together and he sleeps with his Bible. We try to catch the frustration early before it turns into a full outburst. We are still learning, but it has improved. Thanks again. Great encouragement.

I would only add that one needs to teach self control as one would math - with daily practice. Just like with math - we don't learn it all in one day, or week or even one year - but with many years of modeling patience and teaching better ways to express frustration. My youngest son has gone from standing and screaming in one place for hours (at age 3)to being able to get through a 90 minute basketball class - once a week - without even one melt-down (age 10). Never the less, on those days I think I am going to lose my mind - I try to remember just how far we have already come and remember this is just a temporary set-back. I so understand this issue.
