[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would rather raise a girl who is confident enough to try things than one who squanders her life, trying nothing, for fear of potential embarrassment.[/quote] This. I avoided rejection but that means I avoided trying out for anything I wasn't certain I wouldn't get. I won't raise my girl like that. I will encourage (not force!) to try out things out of comfort level. In the OP's case, the girl already wants to try out. I wouldn't discourage, I would support (as PP said practice if possible), and I would make comments about realistic expectations "how we should always try, sometime we might get it, but sometime we won't and that's ok" point to "growth mindset" poster (yes, i already have a couple of those)[/quote]
