Confidence isn’t something we give our kids, it’s something they build.
Not from everything going right…but from learning they can handle it when things don’t.
The strong-willed child
The sensitive child
The child who struggles and tries again.
That’s where confidence grows and it grows best when there is an emotionally regulated adult available who is attuned to what is going on and can be a safe place to land. While it might look messy and require patience, choosing to be that safe adult for our kids makes all the difference.
