3 Creative Games for Days of Frustration
For families with children who are angry, frustrated, or emotionally blocked.
What it is
A short, powerful creative guide to help families understand and transform one of childhood’s most challenging emotions: frustration.
This ByBa | 3 blends psychology, emotional education, and creative play to turn difficult moments into opportunities for connection, expression, and growth.
Why it matters
Frustration is natural — but it doesn’t need to become chaos.
Children express it in many ways: noise, anger, impulsivity, silence, withdrawal, or sadness.
This book teaches you how to recognize those signals, understand what’s happening inside, and offer creative ways for the emotion to move and transform.
And because ByBa | 3 lives in your pocket, you can open it exactly when you need it.
Life doesn’t warn you when a hard moment is coming — that’s why having creative tools always at hand makes all the difference.
