Recently, *someone* mentioned drama classes. I'm not sure who.
I've been wondering about nudging my daughter in to these. She's incredibly excited each year when she's involved in our school's holiday show. She gets the same thrill from her annual ballet production. I've been wondering if she would have the same enthusiasm for a play. She's 7. We have a local community theater that does classes for kids, and many of her friends have tried them with success. The problem is that my daughter tells me she "has stagefright" and isn't interested in doing a show. That runs contrary to everything I've ever seen from her. Is this a time to push or let it go? Being on stage is really terrifying to some.....and exciting for others. When do you think you can tell?
And- most importantly - is it going to scar her if I get her to try it out and it fails? I don't want to hear about this in therapy in 10 years.
