Last week, my daughter received incredible news: she was awarded a near full scholarship to her dream university. While everyone expected her to be over the moon, she broke down in tears instead. As a parent, it’s hard to watch your child struggle with the weight of big changes—even when they’re positive ones. I realized that sometimes, the pressure to live up to expectations and the fear of the unknown can be just as overwhelming as disappointment. We spent the evening talking, reassuring her that it’s okay to feel scared, and that she doesn’t have to have it all figured out right now. Have you ever seen your child react unexpectedly to good news? I’d love to hear your stories and advice below.
