[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best time to address this was when child was growing up by not teaching them to expect that they would get everything they wanted. The next best time to address this was when putting together the college application list by stressing the "lottery" aspect of those top schools instead of the "you have great stats so you're a great fit" aspect. Now, you'll just need to give her some time to adjust. She'll get there. Kids need to learn to cope with disappointments in life. If this is the first time she has not gotten something big that she wanted, it is a learning opportunity for her. Let her have it--don't try to fix her feelings. You will not always be there in life to do so--she needs to learn how to do it herself.[/quote] +1 Give you kid the biggest gift of all OP, coping mechanisms to get through life. [/quote]
