she has no self-confidence. She's so beautiful and smart and full of life, (aren't all our daughters?) but she can't see it and she can't play it out. I don't know what to do anymore. She gets crushes on boys which are really worrisome because they consume her, she's frustrated because she feels she's a year behind in school and she feels dumb ... she won't practice her singing, she has the most beautiful voice you've ever heard in a child, honest to God, a pure sweet soprano that she just belts out in such beautiful innocence but she thinks she can't sing. This Saturday she was supposed to serve at a pasta dinner the choir's putting on, serving and singing, you know? But she's cancelling out, she won't go. This is a choir she had to audition for, seriously, right up to what's important to you in life kind of questions, who's your favourite singer, what's your favourite kind of music? They travel too. You know how choirs travel. Omigod this child is throwing her life away and I don't seem to have any control!!! HELP!!!
