Teaching Kids to Overcome Setbacks

How to shrug off mistakes.

When I look back on my life, I can say very honestly that I used to be a lot like my 12-year-old caller, Devin. Devin plays ice hockey and has quite the attitude problem when things go wrong for him on the ice. I too used to get very upset when I’d have a setback. But time and experience have taught me that if you allow yourself to stay upset when things don’t go well, then you’re just not going to have a happy life.
