Managing Christmas disappointment
My 4yo nephew had a VERY generous Christmas by all accounts. The only problem is he didn't receive one very specific present he wanted - one my sister tried to set expectations about before Christmas and explained why he couldn't have it etc. Now he's continuously reminding my sister (and telling strangers!) that he "didn't get anything he wanted" for Christmas.
Obviously this is super hard to hear. How should she respond? My instinct is to validate that he's upset but also find some way of explaining how some of his reactions aren't kind. Would love advice!
