Here is some of my advice:

Janet Ruth Heller remarks: “When a child has trouble with a task, we adults can tell him or her that we also had trouble learning that skill or another similar skill as a child. We can urge the youngster to practice the skill until he or she masters it. We can also tell the young person how we achieved the task ourselves after a lot of practice. And emphasize that perseverance enables all of us to overcome failure.”
