Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My son has several problems but one that we have been unable to help him with is frustration tolerance. He gets so mad or upset about little things that don't go his way. Today he messed up on a painting project and he started fussing and being ugly about it; saying its his fault and he is so dumb and I quit; I won't finish it, etc. NOw if he were 7 or so, I would chalk it up to young age but he is 13 1/2. He reacts like he is a little boy. I don't know how to help him. We have talked and acted out scenerios and it doesn't help. Any ideas?

ps- I haven't wanted to take him for counseling because the time I did, they suggested school because he would learn to cope there.
