My 2.5 yo is very verbal but he still melts down and cries a lot when he gets frustrated. Besides telling him to do so, how do I teach him to not overreact and to use his words? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

My ds is the same and I say. I can't understand you when you shout use your words. Eventually he calms down. I think it's normal. [ Reply | More

I would suggest never to use the words overreact. His reaction is his reaction. With very verbal kids, it is easy to think they are more emotionally mature then they are. One of the best things is to acknowledge their frustration. Sometimes it helps to verbalize for them -- to put words to what and why they are feeling something (but not babble at them). He's probably a perfectionist (it can happen this early) but praise him for hard work and what he DOES accomplish [ Reply | More
