[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 596167, member: 15799"] At that age, my difficult child 2 was like that. He has since kind of gotten out of it but it isn't easy trying to reason with a 5 year old. On many occasions, I have simply told both my kids "You get frustrated every time you do A but you won't quit A. NO human is perfect and we all learn from our mistakes and we can't get better at something if we're perfect. You either need to quit doing A until you can handle it or continue with it but I DO NOT want to hear a sound when you make a mistake." The hard part is when they continue doing it and still get frustrated and all I can do is remind them that they chose to do it and I was serious that I don't want to hear it. It's a hard place for a kid on the spectrum to be. [/QUOTE]
