What happens when nothing goes the way you hoped?

Eli can’t wait for his family camping trip. But when rain starts pouring, the beach closes, a fallen tree blocks their trail, and even the campfire won’t light, the trip begins to look nothing like the one he imagined.

And Eli’s disappointment keeps growing.

With help from his best friend, Acorn, Eli learns that he doesn’t have to make disappointment disappear. Instead, he can figure out what is and isn’t in his control and focus on what he can do next.

Through a relatable camping adventure, Disappointment helps children recognize and understand this big feeling while introducing two simple strategies they can practice in everyday life: the Control Buckets and the “But I Can” Plan.

Part of the Big Feelings, Brave Kids series, Disappointment gives children practical tools for handling changed plans, unmet expectations, and those frustrating moments when things simply don’t go the way they hoped.

Because you can’t always change what happens, but you can still choose what comes next.
