Confident kids…we all want them! And we can learn a lot from chickens. (Didn’t see that one coming, did you?)
Mommy birds don’t assist their little ones in the hatching process. While they keep them warm and safe, they let their little ones struggle a bit on their own to ensure they have the skills they need when it’s time to leave the nest.
I’ve become very selective about helping my kids with things they can do for themselves. I know when they are perfectly capable of doing something, even if they lack confidence in their own abilities.
Knowing we believe in them is a powerful first step in our kids learning to believe in themselves.
