none of us are anything close to perfect. We're much better off when we accept our imperfections and play to our strengths through acknowledging our weaknesses. We can work on improving them and gaining confidence in them if we choose to do so, there should never be shame in admitting you aren't as good at swimming or running or painting as someone else. Maybe you're better at singing or tennis or playing the piano, but we will never see those things if we focus only on what we cannot do, it is so easy to fall into a pit of not wanting to progress because we'll never be good enough at the one task that has taken our interest but in doing that, we are making it so we are frozen in place and not moving forward. This hang up. If it lasts for long enough could cause our other skills to deteriorate. It's important to do what we can to help our teens understand that they can still practice and progress on things they may not be great at, but they cannot forget the things that they are great at as focusing only on the negative or a lack of progress, we'll leave them feeling worse for it, empathize once again, empathy is an astounding and wonderful thing for helping to heal those around us In these instances. It can be powerful for your teenager to feel like they're not alone and are supported by those around them, asking questions like what can I do to support you through this can get your teenager thinking in a more positive way to try and heal their emotional response independently when they know they're not truly alone.
