FROM MRS. MUNSON
This week discuss with you student what “I believe in myself” means. “Self-confidence originates from a perception of competence – or, to put it more simply, children develop confidence not because family and friends praise them, but because of their own accomplishments.” (Green, n.d.) It’s only natural that as parents you want to instill confidence in your kids. Confident children believe in themselves and are able to face new challenges without fear – an essential factor for a happy and fulfilling life. Please see links below to help build confidence.

Here are a couple children’s books that also include the message of “I believe in myself”:
· Peer Pressure Gauge by Julia Cook
· I Can Do Hard Things – Mindful Affirmations for Kids by Gabi Garcia
· Hooray For You! A Celebration of “You-ness” by Marianne Richmond
