Tks for the tips, PTP and Grinity.

I have me one of these kids too. Mine gets into a complete meltdown if he finds it too challenging or if he's tired. It's getting much better these days, but I'm also learning to recognize the signs in advance (coaching him on the same too), and redirecting his focus on something else. Sometimes, a little diversion before we settle in again can do wonders, and DS enjoys the thinking process a lot more when he's settled. I keep reminding myself that that's what I want - for him to enjoy the learning.

And I completely agree with PTP. This positive script thing is something we can give them so they can talk themselves through. I'll look up the 2 books, PTP.
