It's a tough time of year for parents, as kids are coming home from school disappointed that they didn't make the school spring sports team that they tried-out for. It's hard to have that right thing to say, especially when you are coming home from a long day of work with your own troubles. Perspective on both sides of the ball help in this situation.
