Everyday Ways to Support Your Baby’s Learning
Self Confidence – Your child is learning that they are a very special person; that they are loved, smart, fun, and capable. When children feel good about themselves, they are more confident and willing to take on new challenges.
- Comment on what your child does well. You found the button that makes the bear pop!
- Help your child be a good problem-solver. Give them the support they need to be successful without completely solving the problem for them.
- Give your child the chance to do things for themselves, like small chores or pouring a drink.
- Encourage your child to keep trying. You are working so hard to get the ball in the basket!
