[quote=Anonymous]It's hard -- I have a kid like this. However, we are doing our kids a disservice when we pander to their disappointments. I came of age in the generation where we were told to suck it up, deal with it, and not everyone wins. Learn how to put on a game face and congratulate your friend. While that is always much easier said than done, it was the expectation. I honestly think kids' mental health is worse today because they are highly supported in their disappointments by being allowed to opt out of plan b or figure out how to make it work. At some point, these kids have to hit their first rejections. She should go to the other camp OR present another option that she can still get into now. Staying home and sulking is not the answer.[/quote]
