We have been dealing with a lot of these issues lately and I was lost at what to do. His self esteem has been so low lately he doesn't even want to go to school.

I, too, have a short fuse and I remember how frustrating it was to be a kid with a short fuse. It's not especially easy being an adult with a short fuse... :) I'm looking forward to your future posts on other self-esteem boosting ideas. What a fantastic idea!
