Nathan Wallis: Dealing with disappointing NCEA grades

from The Parent Squad Hosted by Newstalk ZB

But it's unavoidable - at some stage through their school career - and life for that matter, most of us have to deal with the disappointment of failure. They need to learn how to deal with that disappointment - but it will of course still be there, so how are parents supposed to help their children through it? LISTEN ABOVE
