Anyone else have an older child who has regular tantrums?
My 8 year is otherwise an ordinary kid who has no additional needs diagnosed and gets great reports at school and from all his extracurricular clubs…. But he has tantrums on a regular (multiple times a week) basis. It’s so exhausting to parent him. It’s usually over something he doesn’t want to do like go to bed, finish screen time etc. He gets so upset and angry like the world is going to end for him. He’s always done this I just thought he’d grow out of it by now. We talk about emotions with him and I’ve read him books about kids dealing with big emotions but nothing really helps. Anyone else with experience of this and when did your big kid grow out of tantrums?
