2 IDEAS FROM ME: 

1.

"Consider frustation similar to a puzzle to be solved. There is very likely a solution, you just need to figure out which pieces go where."  

------------------

2.

"To be right in the argument is not everything; hearing the other person is what counts and leads to growth in the relationship."

 1 QUOTE FROM OTHERS: 

“ Children are not free to explore, to test boundaries, to share frightening parts of their lives, or to change until they experience a relationship in which their subjective experiential world is understood and accepted." 

Gary Landreth, one of the original pioneers of play therapy, describing the importance of understanding your child.
