Scarred by life

How do you help a child recover from being abused by the laws of physics? Charles was crying and calling for help a few minutes ago because his Lego cargo won’t fit in the back of his pickup truck. I tried to help but he pushed me away and then collapsed to the floor in despair. Now he’s stuck on the floor because he’s become psychologically crippled, a state that can last for quite a while. He retains only enough mobility to crawl across the floor to the nearest firetruck.
