........how do they respond when they are presented with something that does not come easily, and/or something they struggle with? And if their reaction is negative, how do you/the teachers support and encourage them?
DD (so far) has grasped things quickly at school, but a few days ago I got a glimpse of her reaction when something was not easy for her. She was negative, anxious, tearful, and very hard on herself. I can only assume that as she progresses through school, she will increasingly be challenged. She may struggle and maybe/probably she will fail at something too. After all, very few people are good at everything.
How can I help her now, and what can I do to prepare her for later?
Going out now...will check in later...
