[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't push. I would discuss being a risk taker and praise her when she does it. Little things to begin with. Like giving a presentation, when you know she hates it. She doesn't ever have to like it. I do public speaking for my job and dislike it. Helping a child grow resilient is a long-game plan. So giving her the idea of positive learner attributes like taking risks (appropriate ones), is a great way to set her up for praise and success. My post is outside of the discussion about anxiety, because it's not something I know much about. But I think those posters are helpful to suggest an evaluation. Juts in case she does have anxiety. Then there will be specific approaches to take to help her feel more confident and resilient. [/quote]
