DS is 7, intelligent, endearing and keen to learn. Sometimes he gets so emotional that he totally flips out screaming, crying, throwing things and is out of control. It takes a lot of patience to bring him down from these outbursts and afterwards always says he doesn't know why he did it, other than the initial feeling of being very sad or frustrated or disappointed. He doesn't seem to learn from any follow up discipline that this is not acceptable, and genuinely seems unable to control his feelings leaving me constantly embarrassed at being such a bad mother and dreading having to show my face at school when I find out about the latest round of "tantrums"
If being a mum was a proper job I would quit!
