We would never want that player in our team. We'd be like, refs, whatever. I miss my foul shots. I'm going to go to the gym tomorrow so I can make more. I didn't pass as much as I was hogging the ball. And to me, we have to help our kids in terms of confidence really see that confidence isn't about being the best.

It's about tolerating being you when you're not the best and getting more of a sense of what's going on inside you than blaming the world for your struggles.

And maybe it came from fear for her. Another place it could come from, to me, this is a powerful question. What jobs do I not want to work my way out of as my kid's parent? And what jobs do I want to work my way out of?

Like I can tell you, as my kids get older and they inevitably make mistakes or find themselves in tricky situations, a job I'm always going to be happy to have is I want them to know they can call me and I'm going to be able to help them right through it. I do want that job. I want them to have other people who have that job, but always happy to have that job. water bottle rememberer.

I don't really want that job at all. I really don't. Toast maker in the morning when they're, nope, I would like my kids to know how to make themselves breakfast and remember their water bottles and check in at the orthodontist. So at various ages, I think I can say to myself, okay, Becky, Am I working my way out of water bottle rememberer or am I locking myself in?

Because then we have a kid who's 10 and I say to them in a moment of frustration, you have to remember your water bottle by yourself. This is insane that I'm still doing it for you. But I have to a little bit look in the mirror and say, okay, so first of all, am I setting my kid up for success? This is a skill. Do I help my kid with their own handwriting? Write post-it notes on the door.

Remember water bottle. We all need visual prompts. When my kid does it but still forgets, again, this is a water bottle. It's not an EpiPen. Am I like, you know what? This feels harder than I thought, but I'm not doing it. I'm not purposely letting them fail. No, again, intention matters, but this is an okay thing to go through.
