When 8-yr-old Penny can’t make the perfect picture, she abandons art:”If I don’t draw, I can’t fail.” But without art, she can’t focus-relax-be! To self-regulate & smile again, she must learn to see the joy of creation as perfect enough.

Struggling to fit in, Esme stifles her inner dragon’s fidgets, flaps, & roars.

I don't get upset if a difficult game doesn't have an easy mode. I'll just watch someone else play it. What annoys me is when others complain about a game actually having an easy mode. Just let people have fun.
