Yup. Confidence is the biggest thing you can assist with.

If they are confident and enjoy what they are doing, they will knock it out of the park.

With my son, we have a lot of talks about what makes him nervous and I try to share things I do when I'm nervous.

Works every time.

But still I get anxious for her because I know that in HS what you fear the most is looking bad in front of your friends.

I most feared being electrocuted in front of my friends, but I guess it's kind of the same thing.

Watch Dead Poets Society & learn how not to father a child.

As usual she did a great job tonight...as did everyone else in the concert.

Just have them listen to Alanis Morisette's Perfect.

If she messes up, remind her that it's all her fault for not practicing harder. Drive the point home by withholding affection for the next couple of weeks.

Just have her picture the crowd drinking a glass of antifreeze.

:D and food. A few days of starvation straightens them right out.

I get butterflies like a mofo every time. It's natural.

Maybe you just need a snowcone to relax.

Yup. But I don't think it's nervous for them as I believe in their abilities. I think it's more I sense and feel their nervous energy. They look to me to be a rock for them when they are feeling that way so I can't feel it. But once their performance starts, I'm usually relieved when it's over.

Yes. I learned that the most effective way to elicit change in my principles of learning class was to withhold food and love. You will definitely see a performance difference in a very short time.
