seriously, it's not how the world works. in the real world, you failed, you got rejected, you lose. so how do they deal with that if you never teach them how?!
see, i am not the sharpest tool in the shed, i was not the greatest athlete in the world, or the natural born violinist. i write nicely (at times) i can manage to put words into sentence, i took decent pictures but that's about it. in short, like i always say, i'm a geek. i was never the most valuable player in the team, i was picked last in gym class, never get to sing the solo (hell i think if i tried out for choir they'd rejected me anyway). but, you know what, rejections, failure, and lost made me interesting (borrowing this quote from ms. reese witherspoon). it made me stronger, and (i hope to god) wiser. at least it made me wittier (is there such words??!!) and it gave me ammunition for the real world.
so teach your kids to fail, let them feel rejected, let them KNOW those things exist. so they are prepared to face the world, so when it happens, big time, they are much less likely to blow up their brain.
so you got to teach your kids, it's okay to lose because you can gained much more from it than when you're winning. and tell them, if they came back from it, they'll achieve a higher limit :)
