Purpose
Help caregivers understand and use problem-solving language to strengthen a child’s realistic confidence.
Lesson Explanation
Use questions that help a child think rather than immediately rescue them.
Worked example: Ask: “What have you tried?” “What is one small next step?”
How to apply it safely: Do not turn every struggle into a test; offer help after the child has had a fair chance.
Confidence is built by repeated experiences of belonging, effort, learning, and manageable responsibility. This lesson does not replace professional support where a child’s distress is persistent or severe.
