I had my six-year-old yesterday who was just melting down.
There was no consoling him.
And so I just sat with him.
I was like, oh, this must be really disappointing.
This is disappointing.
And that's okay.
Sometimes we're going to be disappointed.
And I think so quickly as parents, we just want to fix everything.
Okay.
What he was upset about is that nobody on his team picked the name he wanted to pick.
Right.
This is what sends us into a tailspin at sex.
So he was like, it's been two years and nobody picks my name.
And so what do we do?
We don't call up the coach and say, you know what?
My son wants his name to be chosen.
Can we do something about that?
No, it was, I just sat with him and I was like, let's take a deep breath.
gosh, that must be really disappointing.
Sometimes we're really disappointed.
