Term 2 – Week 2

Building confidence and motivation in children is one of the most impactful roles parents and caregivers can play in their child’s development. Confidence is the belief in one’s abilities, while motivation drives the effort to pursue goals, even in the face of challenges. These qualities, when nurtured from an early age, help children develop resilience, a positive self-image, and the courage to take on new challenges.

Parents can create an environment where their children feel supported by offering consistent encouragement, praising effort over outcomes, and helping them set achievable goals. When children feel confident in their abilities, they are more likely to be motivated to try new things and persevere through setbacks. By fostering both confidence and motivation, we can equip young people with the tools to face life’s challenges with self-assurance and a growth-oriented mindset, laying the groundwork for long-term personal and academic success.
