Crying

• Allow your child to cry. Suppressing a child's emotions prevents them from feeling what they are really feeling, and also stops them from being able to deal with what they are frustrated over and move on. It can help a child greatly to be able to process his emotions. Do not rush to your child's side to pamper him or comfort him, but at the same time, do not sternly tell him to stop crying. Give him the time and space to shed a few tears.
  
  

Calmness

• As a parent, it is very important to set an example of self-control and patience. Teach your child how to calm herself down with various relaxation techniques, including snuggling up with her beloved teddy bear, taking a small break and watching her favorite television show and playing around at the park across the street. When a child is frustrated over something she cannot have or something she is unable to do, getting her out of the situation for a little while can be very effective for soothing her mind.
  
  

Napping

• One of the most common culprits behind frustrated children is pure sleepiness. Children frequently act out when they are sleepy. Apart from your child being frustrated and maybe even prone to anger, the sleepiness could lead to him feeling run down (which could also make him more susceptible to illness such as the common cold or flu). Encourage daily and regular nap times to keep your child relaxed and frustration-free.
  
  

Keep Cool

• Keeping cool is essential for parents dealing with frustrated children. It is important not to emulate your child's frustrated behavior, as that could only reinforce it to them. If you behave in a frustrated manner yourself, it very likely will just exacerbate and prolong the situation. Avoid lecturing or scolding your child at the peak of his frustrated outbursts; instead, try to divert his attention and get him to take a short break.
  
  

Confidence

• Children often feel frustrated when they cannot do something properly, whether it's a school assignment or even a game. Encourage your child to feel self-confidence and to believe in herself. Remind her of her self worth by talking about things she has done well in the past. Put the present issue into perspective by discussing other situations that at one point seemed impossible to her. Talk to her about the value of hard work, motivation and not giving in to weaknesses or obstacles. Let her know that practice makes perfect, whether you are an Olympic skater, famous singer or rocket scientist.
  
  

Consistent

• Be consistent when dealing with your child. When you set rules, do not bend them just to accommodate a child that is acting out. Doing this can only lead to other difficulties in the future, as it sets the expectation that you are always going to let your child have his way. Develop the ability to firmly say "no" to your child, which will teach him to understand that sometimes in life we do not get what we want immediately.
