Angry 7 year

We are at the end of our tether with our 7 year old son. He's is bright, funny and full of energy but utterly reactive and prone to angry outbursts. At present these are daily. It's almost as if he forgets any sanctions or conversation we've had with him about this behaviour. Any ideas on helping with this?

Every time he reacts calmly and positively, notice that and praise that.

Have you tried hugging him when he's angry? Sometimes people just want to know they're loved even when they react like that, I know I may be way off the mark here but thought I'd suggest it
