It actually does seem to help my 3 year old. The song is "When you're feeling frustrated, take a step back and ask for help." She does remember to ask for help a lot now! Before that, her usual move was to lay face down on the front doormat and wail so this is major progress. josina on "Does your child get frustrated while playing?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-get-frustrated-while-playing#post-2652092 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 11:37:14 +0000 josina 2652092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My almost-2 year old absolutely does over the simplest things - like his blanket not covering his feet. I'm trying to teach him to say 'help mom' instead of whining, work in progress. If he throws something or tantrums, I'll do a 2 minute time out w/ cuddles at the end. Sometimes he just needs a break or I think just wants me with him, so I try to get on the floor and play with him. I'm sure its tough not being able to do everything he wants to do! snowjewelz on "Does your child get frustrated while playing?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-get-frustrated-while-playing#post-2652067 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 10:58:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2652067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes; I have a 23 mo old and she def gets frustrated when she can't do something!

She doesn't enjoy independent play at all - she gets bored very easily with activities she finds easy and yet gets frustrated with things she cannot do first time. It drives me crazy.

And has been since she was only like 8 months old. She gets EXTREMELY upset when she can't do something, or reach something, or figure something out. She will scream and throw herself to the floor. She's very emotional in general. bees_knees on "Does your child get frustrated while playing?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-get-frustrated-while-playing#post-2651839 Sun, 13 Nov 2016 18:47:55 +0000 bees_knees 2651839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Orchid: I've realized that if my 2.5 yo DS gets super frustrated/whiney while he's playing, he's usually hungry and a quick snack will make a world of difference (Apparently getting "hangry" runs in the family...sorry kid 😂) Just a suggestion! jhd on "Does your child get frustrated while playing?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-child-get-frustrated-while-playing#post-2651836 Sun, 13 Nov 2016 17:57:00 +0000 jhd 2651836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Orchid: my 2.5 year old gets upset (sometimes cries sometimes gets mad) in situations like this. Today he threw puzzle pieces because he was frustrated. I gently reminded him that I could help if he needed it and we can't put the puzzle together if the pieces are on the floor. He also gets upset about the exact same situations you mentioned. I try to just let him know I understand it's frustrating and encourage him to try again or try to put something different in the dump truck. One day he experimented to see which cars fit inside his transporter truck! I try not to help too much but sometimes he likes that too.

He gets worked up if his Lego duplo tower falls or he can't fit something into his dump truck, etc. He makes the most annoying whining, crying sounds and even screams sometimes. Have you dealt with this? Any tips to share?
