awwww sweetie, so sorry to hear that. my son does that too sometimes, with adhd he has trouble talking to me, so we have been taking time out to do that every day, and it seems to work. When they get frustrated they get mad instantly, see if he is wants to sit down and talk to you, just one on one, and let me know how it goes. sending flowers and a great big hug to you sweetie.
