My husband and I have two daughters and four grandchildren. Although our daughters did well in school and life has been kind to them, they definitely dealt with a lot of challenges during their school years especially when they were young. I spoke to them about “Wow Moments” to help them through the disappointments in life. I hope this can help other children keep a positive attitude when life doesn’t seem quite so “fair”:

When my kids were little, I spoke to them about “Wow Moments.” Everyone gets a certain amount of “Wow Moments” in their lives. You never know when you’ll get to use one of your “Wow Moments.” Sometimes you might really, really want something so badly and you worked so hard; but someone else wins, gets picked for a team or a play and you might be really sad. But you are only witnessing someone else getting to use their “Wow Moment.”
