Agree with you West Ender and with HR, children just wear their heart on their sleeve and have not learnt the art of 'stiff upper lip'. They won't knock themselves out about it, unlike an adult who will take the failure to go forward in this competition as a personal rejection and a knock to their self-esteem .. not all of course.
