PLAYING OUT FRUSTRATION

‘Frustration is the emotion that moves us to change something that isn't working. For kids, it might be a limit they encounter or realizing they can't always win or avoid upset. Frustration is impossible to avoid as a kid or an adult and we can't always get what we want.

One of the ways we metabolize emotion is through play. When we play out frustration we can better preserve our relationships with others. As Lawrence Cohen writes, kids don't say they had a hard day - they ask to play.

Frustration-based play takes on a particular form through construction or destruction. If you can see there is frustration that needs to come out then helping a child or teen to construct or destroy things may help.

Play has always been Nature's therapy for us.”
