Your infant/toddler must be able to interact with adults and have the skill to seek help when needed. This will not happen by chance . At home you will need to walk your introduce your infant/toddler to the concept on asking for help.
When your infant tries a new allow her to try a few times and when she expresses frustration usually crying and throwing the item down. You should say to her " Angela you don't have t get frustrated come and I will help you". Then you bring her back to the activity and say " let's do it together. You will both complete the task. Now give high five and say look we did it.
The idea is for your toddler to understand the action that goes with the word and when she should use it. You will do this until she is able to ask for help when she gets frustrated. Once she gets the word aligned with the action she will build on it . She will be able to control her emotions and will be able to do a good job at self -regulation. This skill also helps to builds self-esteem. You are building language skills .
