Does your child....
- Give up quickly when faced with a difficult task.
- Lash out if something does not go as they hoped or planned.
- Avoid tough tasks.
- Refuse to complete tasks, often insisting that they are boring.
- Become angry when asked to wait or to take turns.
- Quit when they can’t do something perfectly on the first attempt.
Rather than a behavior problem, lack of motivation or an anger issue, your child may simply be experiencing low frustration tolerance.
