This can be applied to any situation in life. I see very often parents reacting very emotionally to bad school results of their children. I see at work people not able to respond in a constructive way to bad news.
Unfortunately most of us never have received any training/ guidance on how to deal with setbacks/ disappointments. In fact it is extremely rare that somebody is trained in this domain.
