  • Popcast#16 - Frustration and How to Cope with It
    Sep 26 2025

    🎧 In today’s episode, we’re tackling frustration—that tricky “ugh!” feeling kids get when puzzles won’t fit, math feels impossible, or soccer practice doesn’t go their way. The good news? Frustration isn’t a stop sign—it’s a chance to build frustration tolerance, a super-skill that helps kids keep going even when things feel hard.

    Here’s what we cover in this episode:

    🧩 What frustration really means – helping kids see it as a sign their brains are growing stronger, not that they’re failing.

    💬 Fun, relatable stories and “dry runs” – from piano practice meltdowns to tricky puzzles, with real-life ways to cope.

    🌬️ Simple strategies – like deep breathing, mantras (“I can do hard things!”), and family values that normalize mistakes.

    🛡️ Emotional tools – teaching kids “emotional vaccinations” to prepare for challenges before they happen.

    🎯 A fun challenge – encouraging your child(ren) to practice frustration tolerance by trying one coping tool the next time frustration shows up.

    🎵 New Feature! Each episode now comes with a theme song to inspire kids. This week’s pick: “Try Everything” by Shakira (from Zootopia)—a perfect anthem for embracing mistakes and never giving up.

    Listening to this episode will help your child build patience, resilience, and confidence—skills that serve them in school, friendships, and life. 🌈💪

    🎧 Tune in now and help your kids turn frustration into their learning superpower! 👂 Links in bio to listen to the full episode (and our song pick!) with your kiddo(s).

    In this episode, we will cover:

    🕵️‍♀️ How to “read the room” – teaching your child(ren) to notice the mood around them and match their behaviour appropriately.

    😂 When humor works (and when it doesn’t) – fun, relatable anecdotes that show how timing can make or break a joke.

    💖 Building empathy – learning to understand others’ feelings while making choices about how to act.

    🎯 A practical challenge – encouraging your child(ren) to practice reading the room at home, school, or playdates.

    Listening to this episode will help your child understand social cues, communicate thoughtfully, and connect with others in a kind, confident way. 🌈✨

    🎧 Tune in now and help your kids develop their social superpower!
