My DD5 is very easily frustrated. If something doesn't come easily to her, she freaks out and panics. Luckily, she most things come easily.
But not everything does, of course, and then she loses it. I have tried to model dealing with frustration and accepting mistakes for myself, because I know I am a perfectionist too.
I feel bad because I worry about her missing out on enjoying the things she's good at because once a little effort is involved she abandons ship.
Any ideas would be really helpful! We try hard not to pressure her or give her too much to do. We even try not to make a big deal out of what she does well so she doesn't feel the stakes are always really high, but I don't want to ignore some of the things that she is proud of.
Help!
