Distraction

I have found in some situations when Alex gets frustrated or angry that enthusiastic distraction works for him, not all the time!
Usually completely off topic and highly over-emphasising something and ending with a deliberate incorrect statement that I pretend to be confused about but Alex seems incredibly willing to lend his knowledge and spill off a million facts about - the previous frustrating moment then passes by without thought.

I agree 100% this does work and help and yes it can sometimes be tricky but i've used this distraction many times to calm things down
