My 12 year old DS, is currently stomping round the house because DH and I asked him to revise for some exams that will take place after half term. He told us he doesn't care about the tests, he hates us etc.
I don't know how to deal with him. I'm trying to stay calm but it's difficult when he's throwing his duvet around the bedroom. We've apparently stressed him out and it's all our fault. We find him utterly exhausting at the moment. He's like a ball of rage. I've spoken to him about his life, asked if there is any bullying or struggling at school. He says No. He hates homework and I think he feels overwhelmed. I've been sitting with him and have tried to create a revision timetable and have been sitting in his room to give moral support - I can't really help esp with Maths!
Is this all normal? He's year 8.
