She gets so angry when she cannot accomplish something. I am teaching her how to write letters and numbers and when she cannot do it the first time she gets so angry. I have explained to her that nothing is perfect your first time and that she is still learning, but her expectations for herself are so high. I do positive reinforcement when she tries, but it doesnt seem to help.
There are times she gets so angry I think she should be in anger management for children. She doesnt hit or throw things (thank the lord) but I need suggestions.
as long as she’s not harming herself or others (throwing things,hitting,etc) then I would just try to let her vent it out on her own.
maybe the next time you’re teaching her how to write (my 5 year old daughter is the same way-just started school) and she gets frustrated, tell her that you are going to take a break from it until she calms down. this might upset her even more (my daughter has cried) but stick with it. eventually, she will learn to calm herself and focus. my daughter learned that she accomplished more when she was calm and paid attention.
take a walk, read a book, or have a small snack then try to go back and finish the project. this helps alot and gives her the downtime she needs to calm down.
little ones are so ambitious. they want to succeed so bad and it's frustrating for us parents sometimes b/c we want to help them!!
hope this helps you
