Sulking is driving me insane

13 nearly 14 ds and he sulks over everything.
Drives me bloody mad.

What is the best way to deal with it. He seems to feel hard done by all the time.

Really depends on why he is sulking. Generally I would listen why he has an objection and if unreasonable then tell him why, if still sulking I'd pretend not to notice, or make a joke/make him laugh about it.

If he is really unreasonable about something important and not budging, for example ruining a day out, I would call him out on it with some consequences.

Biggest challenge is to stay calm and reasoned, don't lose your rag or nag.
