Category: Setting Limits for Children
March 8, 2025
Does your child....
- Give up quickly when faced with a difficult task.
- Lash out if something does not go as they hoped or planned.
- Avoid tough tasks.
- Refuse to complete tasks, often insisting that they are boring.
- Become angry when asked to wait or to take turns.
- Quit when they can’t do something perfectly on the first attempt.
Rather than a behavior problem, lack of motivation or an anger issue, your child may simply be experiencing low frustration tolerance.

Your child is screaming, “You are stupid.” Or worse, “I hate you!” You feel yourself spiraling, every cell in your body triggered. Do you yell too? Flee? Burst into tears? Or do you somehow stay cool?

It’s so hard to not feel like a failure when your child is gyrating on the floor and screaming, especially when they save these moments for you.
