Courage: when your child dares to try
Courage doesn't mean having no fear. It means trying anyway – and for kids, that's often something very small.
What's behind this feeling
Courage usually comes with a bit of fear. That's not a contradiction; it's exactly the moment kids grow.
What can help
Celebrate the small steps, not just the result. A sentence to take along helps: "I'll just give it a try." And sometimes saying no takes courage too.
