My DD (10) is a perfectionist. Shocking, I know. She also tends to be very good at most things she tries to do from academics to sports. Performing arts is the only area where she was not on top right out of the gate- and she was not happy about it but she continued with the school musical and had a lot of fun. Here is my current issue. She is in 4H and has been preparing to show a sheep in the fair in July. We have not yet officially done the paperwork but she has been assigned an animal, chores etc and has started training. It has not been easy. She has a particularly stubborn sheep (according to the farm manager) and has not had a ton of luck with her training. DD is now saying she is not sure she wants to actually show the sheep in the fair but just continue to work with it for fun. I'm debating whether to let her drop or to make her push on. Thoughts?
