FRUSTRATED
Frustration happens when things feel too hard or don't go the way we want. It can lead to sighs, frowns, and grumbles — a sign that encouragement and small successes are needed to keep trying.
Tips for Parents
🌟 Name the Emotion
Help your child recognize frustration by saying:
"I see you’re feeling frustrated. It’s hard when things don’t go the way we want."
🌟 Normalize the Feeling
Remind your child that everyone feels frustrated sometimes, especially when learning something new.
🌟 Break It Down
Offer small steps:
"Let's try one little piece at a time."
Helping them experience success eases frustration.
Bonus Tip:
If frustration builds:
Take a quick break or switch activities.
Return later with fresh energy and a plan to make the challenge feel smaller.
