[QUOTE="SuzyfromTexas, post: 22302, member: 3338"] Sharon's input makes a lot sense to me. My six year old son has the same problem. One thing that is working for us is to clearly state expectations before a game (in our case basketball). Also, he wants to receive a trophy at the end of the season. He understands that if he cries for reasons other than being hurt, he will not receive a trophy. Believe it or not this is working. I understand that this may not work for a 12-year old, but can you think of some "carrot" he may want? Not sure if this approach is best for kids but it's working for us.... I'm with Sharon that if he continues to have tantrums or meltdowns that is more detrimental to his social well-being. [/QUOTE]
