The New York Times recently released an article entitled “Handling Your Kid’s Disappointment When Everything Is Canceled”, where Dr. Roseann was recently asked her opinion on the matter. Here is a preview of some of the things Dr Roseann has to say:
“When you have to talk about canceled events that kids were looking forward to, think about it as a learning opportunity to manage disappointment. We often are so worried that our kids will get upset when we should be thinking: ‘What can my child learn here? Can they learn about managing stress and feeling upset?’”
