Assuming competence means recognizing that our children have thoughts, feelings, and dreams just like every other child.

But why is assuming competence so crucial? The answer lies in the power of belief. When you believe in your children, you instill in them a sense of self-worth and the confidence to believe in themselves.  Your belief in them becomes a driving force behind their determination, resilience, and ability to overcome challenges.

When our children see that you believe in them, it fuels their own belief in themselves.

Assuming competence and believing in what is possible doesn't mean that you are ignoring the challenges they face. It means acknowledging their struggles while focusing on their strengths and potential.

Our children may face setbacks and obstacles along the way, but whatever you do, don’t let that discourage you from maintaining your belief in their abilities.

As parents, we have the privilege and responsibility to shape the lives of our children.  When you have an unwavering belief in their abilities, it can be a transformative force that opens doors, breaks barriers, and unlocks their fullest potential.
