Hi Shari,
We've been there too, and both times it was fixed by getting more challenging work - not particularly challenging, but enough to settle him. It came completely out of the blue for us too, and the outbursts would be so sudden that there was no chance of him thinking through feelings/options beforehand.
I thought the same as Barbara when I read your post - your son has always sounded amazing, and it's hard to imagine a child like that in K - does he have to keep going?
There does seem to be something about this age though doesn't there, that makes it harder for them to cope with life's lows - does anyone know if there are any theories around as to why?
I hope things look up for your DS soon.
