[quote=Anonymous]This happens to all of us - think how many adults glamorize the job they didn’t get, or the person who wouldn’t date them, or the clothes that would fit if they lost 10 lbs. We all fixate on what we might be missing out on. Help your daughter separate her actual concerns vs, the sting of rejection and the fear of missed opportunity. Talk through how one side is the emotional reaction, which she will feel many times in life. And that once you push through that, you start to realize all the opportunities you still have, and you make the best of them. Remind her that most successful and interesting people have experienced setbacks and it has strengthened them and made them better able to lead other people through challenges.[/quote]
