what's a good thing to say to a child age 5-7 when they're frustrated and trying to accomplish something new?

Answer 1

I'd say "Take a break babes"

Answer 2

ooH..I had one of those..lol.....My son was a perfectionist I finally discovered. That is where the frustration comes in. He would get mad at himself if he couldn't do something right. Like riding a bike for the first time. If he even hit a ditch and it wasn't his fault he would get so frustrated, but, at himself, not the ditch or the bike.......Best thing to do if this is the case is to reassure him/her that it is not their fault. That some things happen for other reasons. Not because they didn't try their best. In other words, if it was the bike incident I just described, I would show him the ditch and how the wheel could not have made it through it. "that is why you fell"..."there is nothing you could have done about it.".......etc...I'm sure you know what I'm saying...Good luck...That's so hard to deal with. My son is now 12 and I couldn't be happier that he is now out of that stage.

Answer 3

Tell them that some things simply take a bit longer to get down just right and not to give up. Point out something that they succeeded in doing in the past that took them a little longer and how good they are at it now.

Answer 4

They need support and encouragement. Always stay positive, but try to express that you understand their frustration. Say "I know this is really hard, but do your best. Sometimes it takes a lot of practice."

You can share your own similar experience, too.

Answer 10

They need to know that it's alright when they don't get right the first few times. Encourage them, and then keep on encouraging all the way up to their college years.
