How To Help Secure Your Child's Mental Health In Just A Few Minutes A Day A daily journal for children based on scientifically proven methods that promote happiness, develop healthy habits and nurture enquiring minds.

Toddlers are little people with big feelings – frustration is an emotion that you might see quite a lot during this stage!
They might cry or hit out when they can’t have or achieve something or they might find it difficult to wait for things or cope with changes e.g. leaving play to go out. Tantrums are a very ordinary response at this stage, to being unable to control what is happening in their world.

Naming feelings and helping your child to understand why they feel this way can support this learning. If your child is frustrated because they can’t manage to put on their own jacket – even though they really, really want to – you could say something like “your jacket is a bit tricky to put on – I can see you feel cross about that. If I hold it you will be able to do the rest all by yourself”

Playing with your little one can give them an opportunity to express feelings and practise managing them at a stage when they cannot say how they feel using words. You are a primary role model in your child’s world and when you respond to their frustration calmly and with understanding (most of the time! 😊) they will learn these skills too.

Being able to make choices gives children a sense of agency - that they have some control of, or ability to influence their world. These choices can be really simple everyday things such as having a choice of two fillings for their sandwich, or deciding if they would like to wear their red or green t-shirt.
In what ways do you give your little ones choices? Has it helped reduce frustration?

We thought you'd all like to see more from our Saheliya Hub Gardening project. We've managed to pleat the garlic and are storing it for winter. The apple tree has got quite a few fruits developing on it. And the broad beans, planted with the help of children from Broughton Primary school, produced a good crop too.
