  • How to help your child bounce back from disappointment
    Disappointment is part of life — but that doesn’t make it any easier to watch a child struggle when they’re left out, overlooked, or let down.In this episode, parenting coach Camilla McGill shares 5 powerful steps to help children process disappointment and build emotional resilience — without rushing them to feel better or stepping in to fix it.Camilla explains how parents can: ✅ Respond with calm empathy when their child says, “It’s not fair — I never get picked” ✅ Stay connected when their child cries after not receiving a sticker, prize, or reward they were hoping for ✅ Help a child reflect on the effort they put in — even when the outcome didn’t go their way ✅ Avoid offering a treat or saying “never mind” when a child is visibly upset about missing out ✅ Support children when they feel left out of a birthday party, game, or class awardWhether it’s a child feeling crushed after not being chosen for Star of the Week or excluded by a friend, this episode offers warm, practical support to help parents guide their child through the moment — and out the other side, stronger.Also covered in this episode: – How to respond when a child says something emotional like “Nobody likes me,” even if it’s not entirely accurate – Why jumping in with treats, solutions, or silver linings can backfire – How to gently ask questions that help children process the moment rather than lash out or withdraw🎧 Question of the Week: What do we do and say when our child isn’t invited to the party — and then says, “Nobody likes me”?💬 Want personalised support from Camilla? Book a free discovery call to talk about your unique parenting situation and find out how she can help: Don't miss your chance to grab £500 my private coaching package that can transform your family life.Start with a FREE discovery call.
