from the article:
“We try to help Della build confidence by focusing on the effort she puts into things, rather than just praising the outcomes...”
Damn...did she just say her daughter is a dumb twit?
I believe that she did...
Kind of sounding like that they are helping Della build confidence by focusing on her efforts of being able to walk and breath at the same time and not praising the outcomes so that those time when she fails are not such a downer.
Just my view from what it implies, maybe not the real thing.
Sometimes people/parents should just be quiet.
