Mini Lesson
Confidence is the feeling that you are able to do something. The more you practice and complete tasks, the more confident you become!
What is confidence?
- Confidence is believing in your own ability to do something.
- Example: Finishing a puzzle makes you feel confident you can do the next one.
- Confidence grows with practice and effort — it is not something you are born with.
How do tasks build confidence?
- Each time you complete a task, your brain learns: I can do this!
- Small tasks lead to small wins, which grow into greater confidence.
- Even hard tasks, when finished, make you feel proud and capable.
