Smallsteps seems like a curious, active person. Why is he worried? He'll soon realize his anxiety is unfounded.
It's interesting to portray different people as problematic.
I'm one of those who believe children should be self-aware and have high self-esteem.
They often have high self-esteem, without any foundational skills to back it up. That is part of the problem with entitlement. Overconfidence, but taking no responsibility.
