Our 4 year old tends to throw his tablet when he gets upset, we take it and set a timer for 30 seconds, then a minute. Sometimes it helps to redirect him while we "clean the tablet". Helps me if I breathe slow because I get stressed too. You got this!
Have him analyzed for possible hormonal imbalances. Hormonal therapy has helped me tremendously! I learned my body produces too much Cortisol and not enough Progesterone. Through hormonal therapy I haven’t had a meltdown in almost three years!
You and his parents are going to have to find a cheaper way to help him regulate. I rarely melt down and when I do I typically go take a nap; but that may not help your grandson's case. I think you're going to need a counselor to help figure this one out.
I do find music practice and bike rides to be enormously helpful.
