Disappointments: How Do You Handle Them?

July 26th 2008 16:17

No one likes to see his or her child experience disappointments, particularly when it comes to something that is out of our control. There are times, though, when we are the ones disappointing our children for one reason or another. It could be a discipline issue, saying no when they don’t want to hear that answer, or any number of reasons.


How do you handle this disappointment?

I bring this up because my oldest son was disciplined this morning and I could see the disappointment on his face. I knew it had to be done because children need to be taught, no matter how hard it is. It wrenched my heart inside to see his remorse of the situation, but I had to stand strong and follow-through.

Do you have a hard time handling disappointment?

After the initial disappointment that my son feels, he will sulk in his room and I will pop in there and discuss what he did and remind him that had he continued ______ consequence would be worse than being in trouble. We always end the conversations with hugs and "I love yous."
