Purpose
Help caregivers understand and use responding to setbacks to strengthen a child’s realistic confidence.
Lesson Explanation
After a setback, review the event, the effort, the strategy, and the next action.
Worked example: Say: “You studied, but this strategy did not work. Let us try practice questions next time.”
