Not sure where to post this so thought I'd try here.
DS is in year 6. I know they've been under enormous pressure with sats so have tried to give some leeway.
At school his behaviour is impeccable. However, he can't take criticism and will blow up when home if anything slightly critical is said. Things escalate very quickly into a full blown temper tantrum for want of a better description. He then really struggles to calm himself down. Sometimes he gets so angry that he starts hitting himself.
He tells me that something in his head just takes over and he can't control his emotions.
I'm really concerned about his mental health. Any suggestions?
