Behind Every Young Child Who Believes In Himself
Is A Parent Who Believed First
~Matthew L Jacobson
When parents encourage their children to help in the kitchen or help making a repair it makes for confident learning. Allow them to get involved and to make mistakes, it's the best way to learn.
It is much more than cracking the eggs, flipping the pancakes or replacing a bulb, it is you saying, "I believe in you", "Come learn beside me".
As we occasionally and gently correct them, but mostly encourage the kids in all these life lessons--they will grow up with great confidence.
Knowing you believe in them is the best way for them to try new things without fear of getting criticized.
"Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged." Colossians 3:21
