[quote=Anonymous]Is it a fear of failure? My 6yr old DD is like this with a lot of things. For example, DD takes piano lessons. She's pretty good; teacher thinks she is doing great and progresses her, gives her new material. But each new material she gets, she tells me she's scared to play it because she might mess up and not play it well. The teacher has also noticed this and saw it as a fear of failure. I'm dealing with this by introducing her to lots of new things. She has trepidations at every turn, but we're working through them. Of course, I always encourage her, and tell her as long as she tries her best, it doesn't matter if she fails. She's better now at trying things even if she thinks she might fail. It's a WIP.[/quote]
