My daughter loves to draw and for a while, she was watching videos of artists who are much better (and a lot older) than her and got upset and even tried to throw out her sketchbooks because she wasn't anywhere near as good as they were.

I told her that she's 13. They might have gone to art school. She doesn't have to be as good as them yet. She might never be as good as them. But she has to keep trying.

And when she draws something she doesn't like and starts talking about how she's not a good artist, I tell her that even Picasso had painted paintings he hated.
