Every New Attempt Can Build a Child’s Confidence

Everyday challenges give children opportunities to try new things, learn and gradually build confidence at home, at school and with their peers.

When a child gets dressed on their own, talks to a new friend or finishes a task, they gain an experience they can draw on next time. These don’t have to be major achievements or situations they handle perfectly. What matters is noticing their effort, offering encouragement and letting them try at their own pace. In this blog, you’ll find ideas for games and activities that help children develop independence and courage.
