Not only will that help them taste what success is like on their own (and show them that you have confidence in their ability), but it also helps parents manage their own anxieties
You’ve known such people — feeling secretly defeated, maybe somewhat sour and cynical, or perhaps just vaguely dispirited. Or maybe they just ran so hard for so long that somewhere along the line they forgot what it was they were running for.
when a child’s talent grows in a field they’re passionate about, it’s a natural boost to their self-esteem.
it may help them discover a different solution to reaching their goal—and it might even encourage them to redouble their efforts in the future, which will also help them become resilient adults.
