Dealing with a frustrated child struggling with a problem

I need your advice. My child is a first-year student at a middle-high school. When he doesn't understand something, he hits the desk or throws erasers at the wall. He also gets easily frustrated when he makes repeated calculation mistakes, even on simple problems. Recently, he's improved a bit, but I can still tell he's getting frustrated while solving problems. He loves math and enjoys working on difficult problems independently, but he insists on figuring things out on his own until he understands. I've told him there's no point in studying if he's going to get so angry, but he doesn't listen. When my spouse and I get frustrated and tell him to stop studying if he's going to do it angrily, he goes to bed looking unhappy, but after a while, he'll wake up in a better mood and start studying again. The tension in the air is exhausting for the rest of the family. Will he eventually grow out of these outbursts? He's bright and sociable outside of studying, enjoying sports and other activities. He only gets angry when studying, and only at home, not at school or in study groups. He seems happy at school and has many friends. We don't force him to study, and he doesn't seem stressed. His anger is directed at objects, not people. He might throw erasers, kick his feet, or bang on the table. I don't understand why someone would study while so angry. Should I just watch, or should I intervene? I'm worried. I've heard that excessive YouTube and gaming can lead to irritability. My child started studying at a young age but we've been pretty lax about screen time. He's spent a lot of time watching TV, YouTube, and playing games. This has broadened his knowledge of the world, but now I'm wondering if it was a mistake. I think he's had more screen time than most children his age. Could this be a factor?"

"Good evening! My name is Daisuke Nakamura, and I'm a scientist. It's wonderful that your child enjoys studying and takes the initiative to sit down and do his work. As a parent, you might consider creating a study space where you can't see him. Instead of trying to change your child, think about how you can encourage him to do what you want him to do more often. If he's getting along well with his peers, he's already a pretty well-adjusted person. I think you should be proud of what you've accomplished and take a step back to observe."

"Good morning. Your advice from a completely different perspective really made me think. As the middle child of three, I've always felt that my child might have a stronger desire for praise than his siblings. I used to think that since he enjoyed math, he was studying on his own, but perhaps being told he was good at math created an expectation that he had to be good at it. Maybe he's struggling to meet those expectations. They say you should praise your children, but it's more difficult than it seems. I think I've been too focused on specific areas of praise. I need to focus on helping my child build his self-esteem in the long run. I'm not sure how to be more specific in acknowledging and empathizing with his feelings, and I know it won't be easy, but I'll keep trying. I've been so worried about him becoming an angry adult who can't control his emotions, especially as he gets older and faces more challenges. I'm grateful for your insight. I'm going to approach this situation from a different angle. This is the first time someone has given me this kind of feedback. It's also impressive how you were able to offer this advice without being critical. Thank you so much."
