Something wonderful is happening

As an adult it can be hard to watch as children take risks. Something like a simple jump from a high object can make you cringe or even rush over to protect the child. But what you may not realize is the wonderful thing happening in the child's mind as he or she completes something they once were afraid of or couldn't do. The message we see as teachers is simple; taking risks builds confidence and confident children can take on the world.

So the next time your tempted to shout "be careful!" Stop yourself, watch, and wait. You may just be surprised or even amazed at what your child is capable of.
