My normally calm and placid 8 year old has suddenly started speaking of feeling "burning hot angry in his tummy" when he is wronged or things don't play out as he might expect.
It is utterly out of character and we are at a loss as to how to help him best. Nothing significant has recently changed in our family life and to my knowledge nothing at school either (although I'm going to speak to his teacher this afternoon) and so I'm wondering if any other parents can draw from personal experience of this with their child? Specifically I'm perhaps looking for a book that we/he can read to help simplify and therefore process these feelings better as I am aware of how huge they must feel to him.
Thanks in advance 😊
