Give different strategies to the children so they don"t get discouraged. Even when you remove the barrier they don"t try and go around the barrier: when a child makes a mistake and then wont try anymore, make sure to not allow this to happen. Activities to promote positive social-emotional development: use literature to discuss emotions. Encourage children to express their emotions, even negative ones: write about feelings. Kids can be very literal: ways people express emotions is different, cognitively.
