When you're asked or told to do something that is hard or unfamiliar, whether you're 2 years old or 60 years old, incredibly capable or not so confident, I believe several basic things pass through your thinking. For example, 'How do you want me to do it?  How long do I have to do it? Will someone help me? ​What's the  reward?' Anytime these questions are quickly answered and expectations plus the reward are made clear, anxiety decreases and independence begins."
