Helping Children Handle Disappointment

Missing a friend's birthday party, losing a game, not getting to play with blocks--young children may face many minor disappointments. Parents and teachers would like children's days to be filled with positive and successful experiences, but daily life has both ups and downs. Helping children handle disappointments can provide them with lifelong coping skills.
