Any Suggestions?

Max has been having trouble recently. If he doesn't get what he wants right when he wants it he goes on a nice long rant, ie. "Fine then I will never go to Pre-School again. Never, never never. If Ms. Sheri doesn't like me then Fine! I don't want to go to pre-school anyway. I don't like pre-school, I don't like Ms. Sheri." This was yesterday when I took him to pre-school and didn't realize until we got there they he didn't have school that day.

He seems to have trouble with disappointment. I'm sure all kids do but I'm not sure how to handle it. I don't think he should have to convince him self that he doesn't want something just because he can't have it. Anyway if any of you have any great ideas let me know.

He also says Never & Forever all the time. "I will never get to have candy," or "It's going to take forever to clean my room!" I finally told him that never is a bad word and had him watch An American Tale because it has the song Never Say Never in it.

Anyway, I'm open to any suggestions or even just a, "That's what 4 year olds do" comment.
