I still recall the first time J ever said the sentence "I am feeling frustrated." It absolutely shocked me to hear those words coming from his mouth.
Then last year, during first grade, his wonderful teacher and EA were able to get him to ask to take a break regularly. So, at home, I frequently heard him say that he would need a body break. It was such amazing progress!
However, from time to time, he still has trouble expressing his frustration and anger appropriately. He sometimes hits, especially if his brother K has been egging him on. So we have been trying to get J to express himself more concretely using this free printable frustration and anger social speech scripts. It's a handy little booklet to keep on hand at all times!
