As with adults, children will inevitably experience frustration. That is why children must learn to handle it. Teaching kids patience is important. Children who do not know to handle frustration can become adolescents and later adults with little emotional intelligence unable to recognize and manage their impulses.

Children find it difficult to control their reactions when something doesn't go their way; however, you must learn to differentiate intolerance from frustration from a normal response and when it goes outside the normal limits.

For example, when you refuse to buy a toy they saw in the store, their reaction is to become discouraged. On the other hand, they are the ones who scream, throw tantrums, shout insults, get angry, in short, show an aggressive response.

The low tolerance to frustration in children is due to several causes: low self-esteem, not knowing how to accept failures, being excessively spoiled rotten, and overprotected. The adult must teach kids patience, to teach children that we do not always get what we want, that in life you win and lose and that this is part of learning; losing is not failing.

Parents can help children by setting an example with a positive attitude when facing a failure or a problematic situation. That allows children to learn to solve problems and see them from a different perspective. If your child gets angry, kicks, or yells, it is crucial not to immediately satisfy his/her demands. In this way, he/she will accept that they are not always right and will have to find the best solution to the difficulties presented.

Teach children the importance of effort, which is the basis for achieving what you want in life. This is the start of teaching kids patience. From there, we can solve difficulties. Set goals that are reasonable for their age, teaching them to be persistent. Children who learn to be emotionally consistent are better prepared to handle most problems that arise and are better equipped to face failure.

Promoting independence is important. Letting children be autonomous, and allowing them to do some activities on their own, such as homework, will help them get skills to cope with failure.

Frustration is characteristic of human beings. If parents are determined to avoid it, they are condemning their children to unhappiness. Tolerating frustration implies being able to cope with the problems that we face throughout life.
