Building Confidence Through Everyday Moments

Notice effort, not just results
“You kept trying, even when it was tricky” helps children value persistence.
Small responsibilities
Age-appropriate tasks help children feel capable and part of the family.
Practical ideas
- Setting the table
- Choosing between two outfits
- Watering a plant
When to seek professional advice
- Your child often says very negative things about themselves.
- Low confidence stops them from joining in for a long time.
