Sometimes your child really does just want the red cup.

They prefer it. They expected it. And when it isn't available, they may feel genuinely disappointed or uncomfortable.

We don't have to pretend the red cup doesn't matter — but we also don't necessarily have to make the uncomfortable feeling disappear.

With support and repeated experiences, a child can begin to learn:

“I don't like this… but I can manage it.”

The preference can still be there while flexibility gradually develops alongside it.

Sometimes our child can tell us the rule. They may even explain exactly what they should have done.

But knowing something when they’re calm and being able to use that knowledge in the moment are not always the same thing.

At four years old, so many of the abilities needed to stop, think, manage frustration and choose a different response are still developing.

So instead of only asking, “Does my child know better?”, we can also ask:

“What made it difficult for them to use what they know in this moment?”
