Conquering a fear

Abby wanted to hang from the monkey bars and then fall to the ground. She said she was scared but she really wanted to do it. After all, Aleeza and Lizzie could do it. Abby said "I am going to get hurt when I fall." Naturally I told her not to do it until she was ready. Her conflict continued. She wanted to do it very badly but the ground looked like it was a far way down. What to do? Aleeza and Lizzie knew the solution. They started shouting "you can do it, Abby, you can do it. With the encouragement of her friends Abby did it. In fact she did it 23 times yesterday and at least that many today. Abby is very proud of herself and her friends are proud of her too!
Way to go girls.
