It’s tricky for sure. For my kids, I try to take any and all wins (no matter the size) and emphasize how it took hard work and practice for them to succeed. I also remind them that even in failure they can learn something for next time. Hopefully it’ll set the right attitude for them. Good luck!
Thanks for that. He seems to get frustrated around not being able to just solve all of his math problems right away. Like when I point out some mistakes he has in his homework (after he asks me to) he gets frustrated with that. Every time he does, I explain that it's ok to make mistakes and it's good to learn from them. He's been getting better.
Something helpful someone said to me is that if someone says something like "I can't do it", simply say "yet" and it immediately changes their point of view.
That's actually a good one. Thank you. I'll start using it.
