:

1. Praise her work ethic, not her innate talent. That’s the biggest mistake parents make.

2. Do stuff with her. You don’t have to be an artist. Just show her it’s normal to work and improve. 

The joke in my family is that I’m the least talented artist among us. I draw people, and that’s pretty much it. My parents are ten times the artists I am. They’re not Michelangelos or anything like that; they just go for it, whatever it is. They’re always always always making something, learning something new, and mastering everything they touch. I never felt afraid of failure growing up because I was always around people who were never good at anything yet but who eventually got there and cared deeply about working for it.

Be in creative company with your kids. Let them see you learn.
