8yo seems to become overly stressed and frustrated with many things. She reats physically - wringing her hands, stretching her body (legs), and the odd time hitting her forehead. Docs have said she's fine - but I want to help her. The type of things she gets frustrated with are having to brush her teeth, do homework, make bed. Also she gets frustrated when children don't understand her ideas (she's very creative) or don't want to play along with her games. She also gets frustrated when she doens't understand a concept right away.
She's not into yoga but we do some stretching and we get LOTS of excersize (walking and biking). We have healthy diets and she gets enough sleep. OH and we don't have tv.
I suppose she could just have a personality traits that I don't relate to, but I need to know how to assess her level of frustration and determine if I need to demand external help.
