How to help your child when they need it but don't want to admit it?

My oldest is going on 7 and inherited one of my traits - pride. I remember as a kid needing help with school work but feeling too proud and/or ashamed to admit it, and subsequently procrastinating and floundering in school. I'm starting to see that now in my daughter.As she's learning to read and write now, she makes spelling/grammatical errors. I try to tell her that mistakes are ok, normal and to be expected. Whenever I make a mistake in my own work, I make an effort to admit it out loud, and show her how I go about correcting it. Unfortunately it doesn't diffuse her frustration.How can I help her without my child shutting down? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2fKjmI0
