[quote=Anonymous]Four year olds are not known for handling frustration with a lot of grace.  Try to talk him through it when he has a meltdown because he's disappointed that he didn't get to soak Dad.  "You really wanted to soak Dad and he moved at that last second, that was super disappointing, next time you will get him, sometimes life can be unfair but there's always a next time..."

You really cannot expect "logic" from a four year old, or even a five or six year old.  They are the center of their own world.  They do not have a lot of impulse control and these little things are tragic to them.  What is it that you think they would get upset about?  Work?  Climate change?  OP, perhaps time to read about child development.  I recommend "Your Four Year Old, Wild and Wonderful" by Louise Bates Ames.  All of the books in her developmental series are great.
