This is another good example of how we are trying to protect everyone from every little negative event in life when in fact, it's good to experience these! From childhood on. That is the only way to really the resilience your piece talks about and it's so sad that society these days is trying to eliminate these events in real life. When they do occur those with no experience in them will really suffer instead of having built up some internal "calluses." Great post.
Thank you for your comment Annette! It is really important to learn to deal with disappointment early on because it helps set the stage for better emotion regulation into adulthood. The later you try to learn such things, the harder they are to effectively implement.
