Dear Karen,
Your little boy sounds just like my little girl!
Just be proud that your little guy likes to have things nice and even though he might be a little perfectionist, he is very smart !
What I used to do about the blocks is I would sit down beside my daughter and build my own tower and then knock it down on purpose so she could she that it was somewhat exciting and just as fun.
One day my little girl and I were coloring flowers when suddenly she screamed bloody murder when she felt her flower didn't turn out "right" . I didn't know exactly what to do but I found out that just a lot of patience and tons and tons and TONS of praise she is starting to grow out of it.

Dear Karen,
No, there's really nothng you should be doing about this. Your son is simply displaying his temperament, he's not really asking for (or needing) any help. Be patient and understanding with him, and respect his need for 'space' when he's frustrated.
