Description: This deck specifically addresses what to do when we don't get the things we want. It also addresses the more abstract concepts of unfulfilled desires, such as when you expect something to happen or a person to behave in a certain way but they don't. It defines "disappointment" and gives several examples of reasons people might feel this way. The story then explains some things they can do or say when they find out they aren't getting what they want. Five specific strategies are outlined. This is a problem-solving deck for advanced learners pre-teens through young adulthood. Sentences are casual and more advanced, some sarcastic humor is used, and some slang is also used. ***Note that for early learners, Lisneyland has an alternative deck called "Problem Solving: What to do When I Don't Get What I Want". This deck follows the same concept as the current deck but uses more simplified examples and language.
