My son is 10 years old. He is generally a really great kid; kind, thoughful and nice to other kids. However, when ever he gets teased, laughed at ar called names by another child, he freaks out and really looses it! He swears at them, gets into fist fights, yells at teachers who try to intervene, etc. and takes at least an hour to calm down. Then he feels very regretful and sorry about his actions. How do I get him to learn not to react so strongly to being teased? It's not so bad at school because he's beaten the snot out of any kid who has teased him so they don't do it anymore but I'm worried about summer camps where the kids he is with don't know him yet. Any ideas?
