Fostering Resilience and Self-Efficacy in Children
Encouraging children to navigate struggles and frustrations is essential for fostering resilience and self-efficacy. When children face challenges, such as completing a puzzle or engaging in challenging play, they often feel tempted to give up. Instead of removing obstacles, parents should support them in taking breaks and returning to the task, thus allowing them to experience the satisfaction of overcoming difficulties. This process is crucial for building competence and preparing children for future challenges. Rather than focusing solely on boosting self-esteem, which can be misleading, emphasis should be placed on developing skills and abilities. As children gain hands-on experience and learn to manage frustration, they will cultivate a true sense of self-efficacy—the belief in their ability to succeed. Overprotective behaviors—solving problems for children—can inhibit their growth, as they miss opportunities to learn from failure and develop important problem-solving skills.
