My 10 yo has spent most of the day wailing that 'he's crap' - whether it's doing his homework, practising his musical instrument, not being able to play older aged computer games (.... 'but my friends do and they think I'm crap because I can't').
He can have moments of feeling sorry for himself by this is on another level and I'm running out of cheery enthusiasm / patience to listen.
Any thoughts / virtual gin out there???
