So Jaden was playing with LEGOs today, he was making some kind of really fancy car. Then part of it broke off, then another part, excetera. Well he got very frustrated with himself, he cried and cried for at least 30 minutes saying, "It's just too hard", and" I just can't do it". I kept saying to him, " Jaden, if everything was so easy, then we would never learn and get better at things, and " Jaden, what do you want to do? Do you want to try and build it again? I bet you'll do it even better the second time around." He was just so frustrated. I tried to hug him and reason with him, then the crying got louder. So I just went about my business, pretending not to notice the outburst. Finally things got quiet and I looked over and saw him building again. I pretended not to pay attention. Finally I saw that he had finished a new masterpiece and I exclaimed, "Wow Jayden, that looks awesome!" he was smiling. I didn't make to big of a deal about it, so he would keep challenging himself. I am solo proud of him, he finally figured out the lesson, "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again"...
