Big changes can make children feel uneasy. Learning new things is one thing that can help children feel confident. Encouraging words from caring grown-ups like you can help, too.
Together with children, watch this video of Elmo’s dad telling him all the ways in which he’s proud of his son. Then, talk about times you feel proud of your child, for example:
