I have mixed feelings about school performances. When my eldest daughter was in nursery, she reluctantly performed in concerts for the parents. On one occasion, she actually paused singing and dancing in the middle of a performance and asked, “Mama, when we finish, can I sleep?” She had had a good night’s sleep the night before, but the stress of the moment got to her, and sleep seemed to be the only solution she could think of at the time. Of course, she continued the performance, and, later in life, she came to love the spotlight and the stage and won many talent contests as a young singer.
