And it’s a habit that could always use more practice as we get older.

Katie — It’s good that your son has someone in his life with some good experiences to share…getting him to buy into the advice is another matter altogether ;) I am amazed that as I get older, how easy it is to forget some of those valuable problem-met/problem-resolved experiences, especially when you’re right in the thick of one of those potholes. Practice, practice, practice!

While on the phone with my nineteen year old (who’s away from home just now) yesterday, he said he was feeling pretty stressed out about some of the details he was having to take care of as part of the next step in his young life.

Later I was thinking that, even though I still let myself get stressed out, I’m old enough to know that everything will work out.

In my son’s case, he’s having some of his first real adult-type challenges, and because he is still a kid, he doesn’t yet have the wealth of problem-met/problem-resolved experience to help him get though it.

We adults may still succumb to tantrums, but it’s so true that getting up faster guides you to the next, better place.

Yeah. I plan to have an ongoing conversation with my next class of fourth graders about understanding and dealing with “failure.” This phrase and story will definitely be part of my repertoire.
