The tears when they donât get the character they wanted.
The frustration of opening yet another duplicate.
The feeling that one more blind box might finally be the one they have longed for.
For children, blind boxes can be exciting because of the surprise. But they can also be one of their first experiences with unmet expectations.
And perhaps thatâs where the real learning opportunity lies.
How do we help children cope when things donât go their way? How do we teach them that disappointment is part of life, and that not getting what we want doesnât have to ruin the entire experience?
The blind box itself isnât always the issue. Itâs what happens after opening it that matters.
Comment and let us know how you deal with your childâs disappointment when they didnât get the character they want!
