In this brief episode, Dr. Shaw examines the emotional rollercoaster that can occur when we respond negatively to a situation. Her world view incorporates the notion that nothing is simply one way... there are (at least) two sides to everything... and that it's important that we teach that approach to our children. Our children can often face disappointments, but they need to understand, even at a young age, that the negative situation shall pass. This is not to negate feeling a negative emotion, but the fact is that when, for example we get bad news, the immediate feeling of negativity actually discharges the energy of that negativity and that discharge allows us to move on with a more positive point of view.
