A1a: Exploring the underlying reason why one feels disappointed can help GT Ss deal w/ disappointment. #mogtchat

mburstin1 Nov 10 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: Protecting Ss from disappointment will do them no favors. It doesn't have to be the end game; it can be a step in the process. #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Nov 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: There should be honesty along w/ sensitivity to age appropriateness in giving disappointing news to kids. Details can vary. #mogtchat

Giving Ss the tools they need to overcome disappointment in a safe environment will enable them to use the tools on their own #mogtchat

edjawz Nov 10 @ 9:23 PM EST

Ss must learn that they are going to encounter some disappointments in life. They just have 2 learn how to face them and move on #mogtchat

WaltzLezlie Nov 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

Yes! GT Ss can often sniff out phoniness & analyze 2 discover what's untrue. Be real but be responsible w/ depth of info. #mogtchat

A6a: Sometimes playing a musical instrument or composing can help a Musical/Rhythmic student release or capture feelings. #mogtchat

llazzelle Nov 10 @ 9:47 PM EST

A6: I think we learned from @PixarInsideOut that we need the sad/angry feelings just like the happy/joy. It's all about balance #mogtchat

mburstin1 Nov 10 @ 9:47 PM EST

A7: Arrogance ends up de-valuing someone else's success. It's not a competition to see who accumulates the most success. #mogtchat

edjawz Nov 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

A6: Great people use their feelings to create masterpieces. The list is beyond 140 characters but Beethoven, Shakespeare, Tesla. #mogtchat
