It's also about how, in this day and age, children's feelings are increasingly validated as a source of truth when faced with a conflicting reality. The point is that frustration, the friction between the children's emotions and how things are in the environment, is crucial for growth. Otherwise, you will have, as we see much today with young adults that believe their emotions are truth and that the world has to conform to them or that the world is wrong for making them feel bad, instead of having an inward regulation to what occurs in reality.In summary, you cannot always get the external world to conform to your
wishes and must learn to deal with the frustration of not always getting what you want. It is incumbent upon parents to help children regulate their emotions. Where I differ is that you can help children to learn to deal with disappointment and still have their feelings validated. With rules set in place. I understand that parents should set appropriate limits, that is, parent.
