I'm sure it's a phase, but it's something that I'd like to nip in the bud and give her skills to overcome herself. But my 2.5yo daughter is smart but very sensitive, not really in a real problem kind of way, but slow to warm up, advanced with the brain stuff, but slightly lagging with the physical stuff - mostly in climbing. But not dancing - she's got the moves there ;)So she's started saying things like "I can't do it" when attempting things like a climbing frame at the playground - including things that she has done many times before. It kind of fits with her "slow to warm" personality, because once we support her and get her started, she will do it again and again and really start to enjoy it. But she requires a lot of hand holding literally and figuratively to get there.I'm just looking for tips of dealing with it.Before I get inundated with comments like "your child needs you, so give her your time and attention, don't push her to get over it" - we are super attentive, gentle parents and are very happy to let her get to things in her own time and with plenty of love and attention. However - and this is the real point - I don't wan't to create issues for her further down the track, where she never gets the confidence to try things on her own, without us there cheering her on or holding her hand and telling her it's all alright. Happy to do that while it's appropriate, but I'm looking for ways to slowly start giving her to the skills to be confident and independant. THANKS! via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2dOjkye
