Another thing you can do, says Jenna Palumbo, LCPC, a child and adolescent therapist, is to change your "but's" to "and's." For example, we might say, "Wow, you did your homework so fast, but did you check your answers?” Unfortunately, what your child hears is, "You did your homework way to quick; there’s no way you did it right."

One of the most important parts of parenting is teaching and modeling confidence. By creating an environment that allows your child to feel safe and loved, they may be more willing to take risks, make mistakes, and learn on their own. When a child learns to trust their capabilities, while still being able to handle setbacks, they are able to develop the resilience and confidence needed to thrive.
