The Mature Quit

When my daughter was a small child, she started learning to walk. She would pull herself up on the couch, push off and take a few faltering steps. Then she would fall. Sometimes she fell with a little "oomph", then she would pull herself up and try again. Sometimes she would fall and it would hurt. I would pick her up, comfort her, hold her hand and lead her across the floor. Eventually, she learned she that if she didn't hesitate, she could stay on here feet. There was nothing I could do to help her learning curve. All I could do was encourage her...hold her hand till she didn't need my support, pick her up and brush her off when she fell, and always let her know that I thought she could do it. It wouldn't have done any good to tell her how to walk, she had to find her own way. All I could do was show her by example and hold out my arms to give her a target to aim for!
