Recognize what you want to SEE:
Sticking with it, staying calm, coming up with new ideas, trying again.
Use the skill:
Describe what your child is doing as they work on something hard. For example, “You got the blue piece. You’re deciding which way it faces. You’re putting it on. And it worked!”
-
Purpose:
Hearing your descriptions lets children think about what they’re doing. This slows down frustration and helps them stay calm and focused.
