[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you actually want to get too detached. Detachment from a kid's feelings seems too close to detachment from the kid himself. However, I think you can help yourself by keeping it in perspective - your kid may not realize how small a single soccer game will be in the course of his life, but you already know that this hurt is going to fade, that it's really not that big a deal in the scheme of things, and he needs to experience small disappointments to learn resiliency. So I'd say, continue to sympathize but as the adult, try to keep each thing in perspective and remember that life is long.[/quote]
