[quote=Anonymous]My DD was in the receiving end of unfairness when her classmate’s dad died suddenly. Yes, she noticed the unfairness. Yes, she complained about it. And you know what we said? We said “her dad is dead and yours isn’t, so we understand that you’re upset but it doesn’t compare. You’ll be ok.” And she actually responded said (in not so many words) that she understood and it actually did seem fair for her classmate to have some unearned advantages since so many other parts of that girl’s life had been ruined. And guess what? The community wrapping their arms around this girl and giving some extra priveleges to get her through those tough years pulled her through a dark place to the other side. The outcomes now are truly no different than they would have been except that there are a ton of kids in their friend group who see the world with empathy and understanding beyond their years.[/quote]
