My 5-Year-Old Is Stressed Out, but We're Managing It

Sometimes the stress becomes like a bomb and he starts to explode. He will begin to stutter and he needs to tell me his thoughts immediately. I will kneel down and get on eye level with him and ask him to breathe. Once he is calm, I instruct him to use his words and ask me his question. I can see relief once the question has been asked. He might not get the answer that he hoped for, but he had the opportunity to ask his question.
