DS1 is 11 and I've just noticed lots of little red marks down his arm and naturally asked him how he got them. He was very reluctant to tell me then said that he did them because he was angry because he forgot to do his HW
We had a bit of a chat about it and I suggested that if he got angry then perhaps he should punch his pillow or find something else to express his frustration (and that he should do his HW!) But.... I'm really scared .
Any advice as to how to handle it please?
