Sometimes I think we have to lie to protect the ones we love. Would you tell your child they truly suck at riding a bike - or would you figure out a way to help them overcome the problem. I know what I said is overly simplified, but as a boyfriend I think you really have to be understanding/caring when you make your comments on how she did or else you are just going to kill her self-esteem further then it has been killed by her own mistakes.
