O, You W sounds very simular to mine with the interactions with kids. Mistake I made was to let her know how wrong she was and how my way was better. Not only did it shatter her confidence it drove her out of the M. Like you I was struck with the I didn't do enough mentality. However, when I engaged my W became instantly defensive. Now I was playing on her turf and in her insecure mind that meant she wasn't good enough to handle it.
