very helpful

I have a 14 year old who gets very frustrated when things don't go his way. whether it be sports, school work, or anything else. He has a very very hard time working hard for better results. He expects things to just land in his lap and for skills to just appear so he can be great at everything. I get so mad when he acts this way. this was great to hear and think about. I think it will help me in this situation when it arises
