Hi, my son is 12 and a half and seems to be getting very stressed out about small things, he told me today that when a teacher gives them homework he feels angry and stressed for a long while after. He also slams around the house eg this evening he was getting stressed out as he had left something upstairs, he then got in a tiz,wailing and growling (I thought it was the cat at first) as he could not draw a picture well enough (by his own standard)
does anyone know of any strategies he could use? i am bipolar myself so stress is not something i deal with terribly well. the idea's i have given him that help me (long bath,exercise) do not appeal to him
