[quote=Anonymous]Similar story for my kid, OP. I had suggested that he write about a very big, very difficult health situation (with lasting consequences) and the essay he wrote was so... well, it was like he was so over it that he couldn't even remember the pain or struggle at all. He just glossed over the topic and clearly did not believe (or remember!) what a huge deal the experience had been. On the one hand, I realized it was not a very compelling essay - and I told him that honestly, especially because I had originally suggested the topic - so he started over. But on the other hand, reading the essay made me realize how far he had come, how much he didn't view himself as damaged or hindered in any way. And this was such an amazingly moving realization that I took it as a big win for him. Sure, I would have loved for his courage and hard work to be recognized. But I'll take the comfort with himself and confidence any day.[/quote]
