Confidence is a key skill for young children to develop. Children already have thoughts and opinions of their own; confidence is what allows them to express them. It is also essential for how they perceive their own self-worth. One of the biggest factors for developing confidence is goals. Your child will learn to set long-term goals to overcome challenges, and then separate those long-term goals into intermediate and short-term goals. They'll find it much easier to focus on those smaller goals, until they've accomplished the long-term goal.
