Word of the Month: Confidence
Confidence can be described as a belief in oneself, that one has the ability to meet life’s challenges and to succeed—and acting in a way that conveys that belief.
That sounds like something we want for our kids! Right?! So, this month will be talking about:
- What confidence is.
- How to have self confidence.
- How help others build confidence in themselves.
