Strong on the Inside - A Practical Confidence Guide for Parents of Children Aged 2–12
Help your child feel capable, brave and good about themselves - one small step at a time
Real confidence isn't about being loud or always winning. It's a quiet inner sense of "I'm okay, and I can try." This guide shows you, step by step, how to build that feeling in everyday family life. It gives you words to use, daily habits to start and age-by-age ideas for children from toddlerhood to the preteen years.

- Let them do it: the "ladder of help" and a table of jobs, choices and your role for ages 2–3, 4–5, 6–8 and 9–12

Who it's for: Parents, step-parents, grandparents and carers of children aged 2–12. It's for you if your child often says "I can't", gives up quickly or is afraid of making mistakes. It also helps if your child holds back in new situations or with other children. Or perhaps you'd simply like to give them a stronger foundation.
