Upper and Downer.

I have to be very careful the things I say to my son as well he is very sensitive that way. It’s a learning process being a parent for sure.

It is a never ending learning experience.

Your son has special needs, I imagine it's hard to find the right way to deal with him, particularly when he is angry.

It's a continual learning experience - trying to work out how best to handle children.

Sorry, kids can be a handful.

I am glad that you have studied the emotions of them. It's quite a good thing doing so. You can control the person's emotions through knowing them how the emotions drive them to.

If you don't mind my asking, how old is your son? My 12 -year old kid says to the family often that we stress him out all the more by what we were doing, and we were just telling him to do his assignments first before playing in the computer. I guess kids nowadays go through a lot in school and when with other people. He even said he thinks he had "social phobia" and that's his exact term. How could he know that already? I asked him why and he said, it's because he's afraid to speak in front of his class. I was lucky to hear about this, because I had to explain to him that everyone has stage fright and that it is normal. I said that although I am a teacher, I still feel nervous before a speech or a lecture but as I do the task my jittery nerves settle down. I think he now deleted that thought in his mind. I hope I could guide him well too to the right path, I would be devastated if he takes the wrong path because of my daily reminders. Now, I'm planning to spend more time with him outside of school.

I thought that it was a problem with my son only but I hear people complaining the same thing about their son.

I think all parents are uppers and downers to their children, especially pre-teens. Once the kids hit puberty, the parents' thoughts and feelings go out the window and it only matters how the kids feel... and we have to adjust. I learned to ignore how Pretty was trying to treat me and her moods or I would have gone insane. I learned not to make plans because she'd be grouchy if I woke her up to go anywhere or do anything. So I stopped making fun plans for weekends and evenings. When she asked why we didn't do fun stuff anymore, I explained that I wasn't in the mood to be griped at by a moody teenager. If she wanted me to start taking her places on the weekends and evenings, she'd learn to be nice and treat me like a fellow human being. She'd learn to wake up to her alarm clock because I wasn't going to be yelled at for waking her up to do fun stuff anymore... It mostly worked. It only took one time of me turning the car around and coming home instead of going to an amusement park for her to learn I meant she'd be nice and treat me like a human... Raising kids is a fun learning trip for parent and kid alike.

THat is a difficult situation, All you can do is try your best and keep your temper,

I am pretty good at "making contingencies clear" without raising my voice. I think that's a part of why the littlies like me. How old is your son?

I hope you have more patience to handle his emotions

How old is your son? Children these days are difficult to manage which is a worldwide problem.

is your son receiving therapy for his special needs?

Often a quiet voice will quiet a child and make them listen.

Good luck with that..I totally understand.

Hopefully he will change as he gets older. Stay calm when dealing with him.

I am sure you are trying your very best. But it is challenging to say the least. Can you get some help?

Being a parent is the hardest job in the world.

I managed to get my points across to my son calmly. I used to tell him he should take responsibility for his decisions and actions. I have found a calm demeanor works with sensitive children.
