Every parent has moments like that, but what occurred to me was how resilient she was after her initial setback. Unlike some adults, she did not sit around feeling sorry for herself after her first failed attempt. She did not seem angry, frustrated, or sad, and I am pretty sure she did not consider herself a failure. Instead, she moved on from the event and went back to it with a new plan of attack. It was a thrill to watch her set a goal for herself, learn from her failed attempts, and ultimately triumph.
