Growing up is a large part of the cure, so the child has to gain over time, more success more confidence and you know awkward teenagers often grow into young women and you know middle aged women or whatever you with a great deal of confidence they just have to grow up some more, you’re right don’t use criticism of correction to help this child because this would just worsen the condition just pay attention to her virtues and comment on them all the time the ones you’ve mentioned that she is clever and she is helpful and she is bright and so on make sure  you do applaud her and celebrate her and that will help, but her own experiences will help take her down the road to the growth to  self-esteem and self-confidence.
