When the first try wobbles

Confidence and trying again

Support courage without turning every attempt into a performance.

Three things to try first

  1. 1Notice the effort specifically.
  2. 2Let the child decide when to pause.
  3. 3Make the next attempt smaller, not louder.

Words you can borrow

“You stopped, checked and tried again. That is what learning looks like.”
