Ds2 is 5, in reception. He is academically very clever. Stage 8 reading band, maths has moved on to fractions, percentages, factors, devision, multiplication etc, his vocabulary is large and his general knowledge is great.
However, he really struggles to control his emotions. He's very competitive and gets angry when he loses a game/ race. He is stubborn and also prone to tantrums if things don't go his way. He had a 20 minute tantrum in the classroom the other day because he didn't want to do his writing.
What can I do to help him? Does anyone have any experience that will help?
TIA
