Frustrated with my kiddo
How do I go about this situation.
My son 8, often forgets how to do tasks that are basic to me. We’ve lived in the same house his entire life, he’s known for 4 years how to turn on and off the shower.
It’s one that you have to turn the water faucet and the bathtub faucet pulls down to activate the shower. 1970s house style. I’ve shown him this many times, he does it by himself 98% of the time. Then the 2%, out of the blue, he completely forgets.
It’s frustrating because he will cry and then I’ll come in and tell him, “turn the hot nob all the way on” he will then turn the nob off. “No, turn it on. All the way. Twist the nob all the way on.”
He then acts like doesn’t know how to do just that.
Which of course frustrates me more. And I know his brain seems to completely shut off when I get mad, but I don’t know how not too get frustrated.
It’s such a simple task that he’s literally done time and time again.
Any advice. I love my little guy but sometimes he forgets things he’s done a million times and I don’t understand.
