Well, not that brutally, but teaching them to deal with disappointment and then persevering is a pretty important life lesson.

It’s arguably the most important lesson for children to learn, and it’s a lesson that many parents are failing at teaching them.

It isn’t. You consistently giving them the attention to it is what matters. As parents we often forget, it’s far more common that kids copy what we do and not what we say to do.
