the best course is to help the kid learn how to control her emotional state when under time pressure...
Of course, if we knew how to do that, then that would be the best course. If you hear of any techniques for teaching control of emotional state, let me know, I'm all ears.
But I think in the case of my kid, at her age, that skill just involves some neurological maturation that she's delayed in. Meanwhile, though, while we wait for that to happen, she's learning all the wrong things such as "math is hateful" and "I suck at math".
