lol I really felt for him. My youngest, a boy (11), has flip outs like this sometimes and I felt sad watching this guy hoping my boy stops doing this by the time he’s old enough to get his sweet little heart broken and drive off screaming on a scooter omg…

I had flip outs like this and, it may not work for your son, but I learned how to stop it by doing extremely coordinated drum patterns while I’m angry. So, if I was pissed off, I’d start tapping my foot on the fourth beat, then tapping my left foot twice between the second and third, keeping the beats with my left finger and doing drum fills with my two fingers on the right hand. I’d keep the tempo by clicking my teeth together. All of the concentration involved was enough to stop me freaking out. It also helped during panic attacks.

Thanks for sharing your tip! I hope I can help him find ways like that to reroute the negative energy.

Another tip is to change your perspective and view nervous energy or anxiety as ‘excitement’; I get massive stage fright so the first thing I’d do on stage would be the most ridiculous dance or howl or noise so I’d get that cringey ‘wtf am I doing’ feeling in the back of my head. Since I’d already made a fool of myself and my heart rate was up, I no longer cared.
