What To Do If Your Child Quits When The Going Gets Tough

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.
