<p>All of the above, except that I’d emphasize that it’s actually not a big deal. The kids’ reaction to the news was going to be what it was. Your daughter will recover by Monday. I wouldn’t change a thing about how I go about doing anything or responding or pursuing this. Come next time…well, now you know.</p>

<p>Awesome! Kids are so consumed with things like how they look and come across to others that you’d think it would so easy to convince them that nobody notices. When you try to tell your child that all the other kids are the same and they have nothing to worry about because their friends aren’t so attentive once they go beyond their personal sphere of consciousness, you find that your child is too self-centered to think that all the other kids aren’t obsessing over them with equal vigilance.</p>
