Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to ____55____ something I’ve never done before, something that I’m not even sure can be done.
My daughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to ____56____ her. But I will also, I hope, ____57____ her of what she learned, and how she can do ____58____ next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a(n) ____59____ you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world.
