#frustration

How can I teach my almost 5yo to tolerate frustration?

My almost 5 year-old boy got upset during dinner because I tried his food to see if it was hot and he was hungry and moody so he pushed the plate away and the plate fell on the ground and broke and I had food all around.
I did not know how to respond. What could have I done in that situation?

My son refuses to practice his piano. How do I help him?

In yesterday's call one of the questions had to do with not wanting to do a piano recital. This also happened to my son recently. The difference here is that from the first time I asked him if he wanted to do the recital he said NO.
I asked why and it was because he felt scared to perform in front of so many people, that he would feel embarrassed.
Another thing that worries me is that he doesn’t like to practice. He just goes to class, which he enjoys, and seems to memorize and remember what they teach him in half an hour once a week without ever practicing.

My daughter takes forever to get ready in the morning! How can I make it better?

My daughter stalls so much in everything she does. This morning she took so much time to prepare for school (as always) we told her she wouldn't be going to her friend's bday tomorrow - something she's been really excited about for some time. It's all arranged and I feel really bad for her, but now do I have to stick to it or can I negotiate to get her to help us more?
