[quote=Anonymous]This is so hard.

My daughter tried out for school cheer on a whim - she had danced her whole life but she thought cheer would be fun. I told her without the tumbling skills it would be difficult and she was unlikely to make it.

She didn’t make it but her 3 friends she tried out with did - she was devastated and cried for about a hour.

One of the girls that made it was having a slumber party that night. She got up, washed her face and went to the party. The moment she stepped out of the car she jumped up and down yelling congratulations to her friends. I had never been more proud.

She then spent the next month putting everything into perfecting her dancing. She was more motivated than I had ever seen hers she tried out for the school dance team and made it! And her cheer friends were routing her own the whole way! They are all so excited for each other to be on the cheer and dance squads.

I fully believe failing at cheer motivated her more than ever in dance. Teach your kid that success doesn’t come without failure and to use it to keep trying.[/quote]
