Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 1 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s fun to share with others — a lesson I needed to 2 myself as well, as it 3 .
One evening Danae had 4 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”
She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 5 that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our 6 wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae 7 . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone 8 . So I tried again, saying, “Once you give the cards to her, you can’t 9 them back tomorrow.”
A look of 10 came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 11 . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay; I want her to have them anyway.”
What could I say to that? I sat 12 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it 13 that our Go Fish set would be 14 ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the 15 of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the to go to the tryouts was only the half of it! When I first started the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid. , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the — friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “ ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, raising my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.
