What NOT to Say and What to Say when your Child is Frustrated #shorts

When kids say, “This is stupid!” They’re not asking for a lecture. They’re asking for support. 💛 It’s easy to jump to: “Just focus.” “It’s not that hard.” “You need to try harder.” But frustration isn’t fixed with pressure. It’s softened with connection. Try this instead: ✔️ Validate the feeling ✔️ Offer a reset ✔️ Break it down step-by-step ✔️ Praise effort over perfection When kids feel understood, their brains calm down — and that’s when learning can actually happen. We’re not lowering expectations. We’re raising resilience. Want more scripts and real-life examples?
