Confidence: the key to passionate learning; how to build it, boost it, make it grow

Article Abstract:

Babies lives are filled with learning experiences. They must have confidence to try a task such as grasping a ball or rolling over. Parents may bolster that confidence by being positive, praising the process, being specific, teaching problem solving and letting the child own the accomplishment. A child should be willing to explore and take risks in a safe setting in order to learn.

Article Abstract:

As many as half of all infants engage in thumb or finger sucking, and a portion of these will continue in the soothing behavior as toddlers. The psychological benefits of thumb sucking outweigh the dental health risks for toddlers, but experts advise that the habit be broken at age four.
