AUTONOMY-SUPPORTIVE PARENTS ACKNOWLEDGE CHILDREN’S FEELINGS OF FRUSTRATION AND DISAPPOINTMENT. I get mad, too, when I can’t do something right the first time, but I keep trying until I figure it out. Remember yesterday, when I did not get that job I wanted? That was really disappointing, but I know I’ll figure something else out if I work at it. I can imagine how frustrating this math must be for you, but won’t it feel great when you know how to do it?
