HANDLING FAILURE & REJECTION
·
It is very important that the
parents are around them when the child experiences failure or rejection. It is preferable
to give them time so that they decide when they want to talk about their
feelings. Parents need to communicate their willingness to help whenever
needed.
·
It is often difficult to
explore what the child is feeling until the child is vocal about his emotions.
·
Emotional quotient should be
enhanced so that the child is able to identify the correct emotion.
·
The older child could be taught
the concept of Grey between the spectrum of Black and White. Smaller children
could be taught the concept of failure with respect of success and that
everything has an opposite which is bound to happen sometime or the other.
·
A lot of self esteem building
exercises like seeing the positive around and within self with emphasizing the strength
areas is helpful.
However in some cases professional
consultation and counselling may be required and parents need to be open to the
same.
