Calling something as it truly is much more helpful than trying to smooth things over. Children then learn that it is okay to make mistakes and will live after making them. Ristad shares two experiences, the first describes how her daughter, Judy, was told by her teacher “you were a flop” after a messy performance. Ristad was worried about how her daughter would take that comment. Judy began to giggle at herself finding the humor and the feeling that heer performance was bad but it was not the end of the world. The second was about herself how she was so worried about her theories not working and proving her methods and practicing efficiently the she began to fear failing. she began practicing harder and longer which resulted in more tension as she performed for her friend. Her friend suggested that she take a break and relax a bit, which she did and it helped her to not fear failing anymore.
