How to help sensitive kids handle their emotions

momof2

My son is almost 11 and he is super sensitive. He takes everything to hurt. If anyone gets loud with him, he automatically gets upset. His dad has severe anger issues, so it makes me a little worried. I was wondering what I can do to help him with his emotions. We try not to make it a big deal and not add to his meltdowns when they happen and talk to him afterwards but sometimes they get pretty intense. Any advice? Thank you!
