Let it Go

Temper-Taming Strategy

Help your child process & move forward from Frustration

We all know that unresolved frustration and anger can easily grow into something our kids are not able to deal well with. Kids may then yell, fight, hurt someone or break something and make other poor choices.

Unexpressed frustration and anger can also lead to other problems, such as problems with friendships, with parents, learning issues or even physical illness (eg stress and anxiety).

In the past children were taught not to express frustration and anger they would have to pretend they didn’t feel it and bottle it up. It didn't go anywhere, it just lead to pent up, angry adults

But we know better now, our kids deserve better and that’s why the Let it Go strategy is so powerful in shifting frustration in an effective way. Paired with the skill of Name it to Tame it (available here ) your kids will have a good basis for handling with the inevitable frustrations which are part of life.
