Developing the "I can do it" spirit in your child


What role do you play in encouraging your child to 'give-up' or 'tackle the challenge'?
Various examples abound of famous people who wouldn't have been successful if they had given up the first few times they failed.

Let your child know sayings like:
'Try, try, try again, until you succeed' 'Quitters never win'
'Faint heart never won fair lady'
'Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly'.....

Encourage your child constantly, let him/ her know you believe in them and it's going to be alright.

What has been your experience in the area of developing this trait in child?
