Over emotional 4.5 Year Old

DS has always been crier. As a baby he could NEVER be put down, was carried 12hrs a day as he would just scream blue murder if he wasn't carried.

He is the most delightful little boy and I am super proud of him, great manners, plays really well, bright ... not physically brilliant, ie can't ride a bike or scooter, doesn't really like ball games etc he does play well on his own.

However, he is incredibly emotional. If I need to stop him doing something or "tell him off" basically don't spray someone with the hose or it's time to come in for dinner etc .. he goes hysterical, I mean full screaming, crying his eyes out for a minimum of an hour, he is IMPOSSIBLE to calm down, people are shocked when they witness it, there is NO calming him down, he makes himself sick from the hysteria.

This happens every single time. Thankfully he doesn't get "told off" that much as I say he generally pretty good.

But Jesus wept I've had a BAD week, it's happened 3 times this week & I am dreading the weekend!!!!

How can I help him?
