Relationships with family members, classmates, and teachers shape how children see their own abilities and find the confidence to take part in new situations.
Feeling accepted can make it easier for a child to speak up, ask for help, or join in a group game. Parents, teachers, and caregivers can foster this kind of environment by making room for different opinions, recognising consideration for others, and helping children resolve disagreements calmly. As children learn to cooperate while also expressing their needs, they gain skills they can use at home, at school, and with friends.
