Description

Frustration can show up fast, like when something feels tricky, doesn’t go as planned, or just won’t work the way a child imagined.

This story captures one of those moments: what it feels like to be frustrated, how to name that feeling, and how to practice calming strategies and try again with support and a new approach.

This episode helps toddlers and preschoolers:

  • Name what frustration feels like in their body
  • Practice calming strategies like breathing and asking for help
  • Understand that trying again, or in a new way, can be helpful
  • Build resilience through confidence, flexibility, and everyday problem-solving

It can be hard to feel frustrated, and even harder to name it. This story helps kids feel seen and gives them a simple, helpful phrase to hold onto as they work through frustration.
