There is this parent mantra (stolen from Buddhism I think) saying 'This too will pass'. Parents forget it doesn't only apply to the bad stuff though, but also to a number of good things. Like sleeping through the night.
I knew this quite early on, so I treated everything like that as a nice, but temporary bonus. This made the setbacks easier to cope with.
