I think there's a lot of confusion between 'invalid' and 'reasonable.' You don't have to agree that wanting the juice back in the orange makes sense to say something like, "I realize you're upset. Remember, when you're upset, you can... (insert whatever you want the kid to do to deal with frustration)." Adults also get frustrated and upset when the world doesn't work the way they want it to! The point of not 'invalidating' a kid's feelings is that there's no wrong emotion to have, but there are right and wrong ways to express it.
