Top 5 Ways to Help Preschoolers CHALLENGE THEMSELVES

If you’d like to build your preschooler’s life skills, make sure that you don’t forget to encourage them to challenge themselves.

WHY PRESCHOOLERS SHOULD CHALLENGE THEMSELVES

When preschoolers are encouraged to challenge themselves, they build self esteem, which in turn builds confidence. When children take on challenges and learn that they can do hard things, they also have the opportunity to see that mistakes are learning opportunities.

Challenges are essential to having a growth mindset. Through challenges children get to take risks, try new things, and learn to fail and try again, without becoming overly discouraged.
