• Abstract:

  This work addresses the challenges of the educational process in childhood, focusing on intellectual development and the formation of the child's identity. It highlights the importance of teaching children to deal with frustration, a crucial skill for their emotional growth and adaptation to the world. The role of parents is fundamental, but they often face difficulties in setting limits, motivated by the desire to protect their children from painful experiences. This overprotection can result in the child finding it difficult to deal with frustrations, leading to disproportionate reactions to reality. Given these nuances, the paper also explores the definition of frustration tolerance, the role of parents in this educational process and the need to seek professional guidance when necessary. The objectives include discussing the role of the psychologist in the emotional education of children, presenting the concept of frustration, and examining strategies for promoting frustration tolerance in collaboration with parents.
