Sure, we actually have no choice!

We do have a choice about how we react and how we behave.

A positive outlook is vital!

If a problem is worth worrying about, it is worth doing something about it.
If you can not do anything about it, stop worrying.

No one is suggesting you use a negative outlook when dealing with the kids, but keeping a level of reality away from them is also important or all you're doing is burying your head in the sand.
As a parent of an 8 and 15yo going through this I maintain a positive outlook and try to make it fun and enjoyable, the reality is I can already see that the 15yo is far from interested and we're only 2 weeks in, this is reality.
