In church there was a kids Christmas choir presentation. There were kids who had individual speaking parts. Not one of them appeared to be nervous even when they struggled with their lines. What appeared to be missing was a sense that their performance was being judged critically.
Last week I scored presentations in some of my classes. The adult students displayed a lot of various nervous behaviors.
It made me think that somewhere between the experience of a child and the experience of an adult, the world becomes a more critical and demanding world.
