[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The tacky thing to me is using the word DEVASTATED. People, get a grip on your emotions and teach your kids to be resilient.[/quote] kids are allowed to be devastated when this is one more thing on top of a whole lot of shitty things. A child can feel crushed and also move past it and be resilient. I can’t believe a child being upset about a missed birthday when they’re already missing school and friends and family and likely sports or hobbies is being judged as not tough enough. [/quote] Devastated to me implies that they are in mourning, and the unhappiness is taking over their lives. Maybe “disappointed” is the word you’re looking for? Again, moderate your emotions.[/quote]
