It does help if your kid knows some poker. Then you can say "you are dealt a hand of cards. You play your cards to the very best of your ability. Sometimes what you have and have played shrewdly wins. Other times what seems like a strong hand still isn’t the winning hand. It’s still worthwhile to give it your best shot. I’m rooting for you, kid. If this hand doesn’t pan out, be confident that this is still your universe and there’s another game down the road. One way or another, I know you’ll find a path that works for you. "
