When You Disappoint, Have a Plan

When someone cancels plans on you, do you feel better about it if they reschedule at the same time or if they don’t mention a future date? I’m going to bet that the cancellation is less of a blow when another plan is proposed.

The same goes for our kids. If we have to miss their sporting event or a camp play, they feel better if we break the news with the back up plan proposed at the same time. A trip to a ball game or a special solo date.

Kids. They are a lot like us.
