So we need to manage these results with our kids once they are in, I'm planning on celebrating knowing which school we're applying for as 1st choice.

Need our kids to be:
Happy for themselves if they have passed
Have empathy for their friends that haven't passed
Be happy for their friends that have passed, even when our kids haven't

Gosh it's tough, so that's why I think we should all celebrate regardless of the results, find the positive and celebrate that, for me it's knowing what school is our number 1 choice, so we can finally apply.

Good luck all

Yes you are exactly right. Nowadays parents are much bothered about other kids results rather than their kids. We should never compare anyone. All are born with unique characters and we should manage the results by building positive thoughts in our mind. Accept the way it to be. Happy for good results and sad for bad results.
