Perhaps your child doesn’t need more confidence

What do children really need from us?

What if we’ve been chasing the wrong thing?

We all say we want confident children but lately I’ve been wondering whether confidence has become the wrong goal altogether.

Watching a little girl halfway up a tree made me stop and think about what children really need from us when they’re unsure.

Perhaps confidence isn’t where the story begins. Perhaps it is what grows afterwards.

Thank you for pausing with me.

Take care.
