Your child did not get the thing he/she REALLY wanted, despite your best effort?


So how do children learn to cope with life's disappointments, Oh Wise One? I remember that I was more or less disappointed most Christmasses, but I always got something that was nice, that my parents and siblings could actually afford and had bought with love for me, and learned to put up with that.
I believe that it is not actually bad for children not to have absolutely everything they want, exactly when they want it.
