Episode 47: When Plans Change- Helping Kids Handle Disappointment


Listen Later

Does your child melt down when plans change, a playdate gets canceled, or they don't get what they were hoping for? In this episode, Jami shares a simple, practical framework to help kids navigate disappointment, build resilience, and learn that big feelings don't have to take over the day.

Key Takeaways:

  • The goal isn't preventing disappointment—it's teaching kids how to move through it.
  • When disappointment shows up, use three simple steps: name it, validate it, and stay with it.
  • Kids build confidence and resilience when they learn that disappointment is a feeling they can handle.

Simple Script Parents Can Say: "I know this isn't what you hoped would happen. I feel disappointed too."
