Does my child need a tutor or an educational therapist?

My son’s reading assessment has him reading at kindergarten level. Given his anxiety and that he has been in a Waldorf environment in the past, reading/spelling has not been the focus and he’s struggling. I think we have found a new therapist but I was wondering if you could recommend a tutor or do you think an educational therapist that can work with him each week on reading and his feelings around it.

My son has big reactions when making mistakes. How can I guide him?

Recently there were a couple of situations when my son made a mistake but his reaction was exaggerated and made me worry about the way he deals with these situations. I would love tips please on what to monitor, how to help him develop the thick skin we need to face the world after making mistakes. I know how I struggled with this… Thanks!
