I dosed him with rescue remedy last night after a melt down in which got way outta hand.

I am org in the morning and our routine is very simple. I go in at 6.50, turn on his bedside light and wake him, tell him I'll be back in 10 to help him get dressed. (he doesnt wake up well). I go turn the heaters on warm his clothes, get myself dressed then go back. a snuggle and a little tickle is the best way to wake him up, then we put socks and pants on, the next bit is tricky and may be a BIG reason for melt downs, he requires 3 thick jumpers over his already thick velvet thermals- this is a struggle but there is NOTHING I can do about this, the school doesnt have heating unless its snowing. then he goes washes face and brushes his teeth. we'll have breakfast, put on shoes jacket and leave.

Melt downs happen at any point, sometimes for totally unrelated things that he has been thinking about.

He can do the routine, His brother and sister stay in bed atm so as to help have a smooth easy breakfast, but it cant always be that way.

I allow 40-45 mins before we need to go and dont get on his case unless we are really pushing time. It never helps and I certainly dont want to be nagging, there is enough of that done at other times

He is having a real hard time with his temper. Hes an awesome kid but always had SO much anger and emotions easily overwhelm him.
