[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a terrible situation - but even more tragic is a young woman so distraught over a disciplinary action that she took her life. Teaching resilience and how to overcome moments when life seems unjust should be a major focus of childhood. We can do better by our kids if we normalize failure and imperfections over mental breakdowns, extreme fragility and finger pointing when perfection isn't achieved. [/quote] She didn’t fail, the school did. Maybe they can learn to not overreact or single out some for overly harsh discipline while ignoring others? [/quote] Terrible things (much worse than being removed from a sports team) happen every day to people who don’t commit suicide. We do have a crisis of young people with no coping skills. The lesson here is that these skills have to be instilled in children. [/quote]
