Disappointment is a great opportunity to reinforce positive character traits" like determination and resilience. We have a tool we call `you're the kind of person who.' We say that to kids, followed by something like `doesn't give up easily'; 'sticks to things'; bounces back'; doesn't let mistakes stop you from playing the game you love.' Hearing that begins to shape a kid's self-image. In the story, Abby's parents prepared everything for her 5th birthday just to make her happy on that day. But because of unexpected bad weather condition, this made Abby disappointed. Her father was concern from her emotions that's why he made best all that they have for his daughter's birthday. My children adored this book and they enjoyed reading it!
