   TWBIM_0389 Confidence

   Ross is thinking about confidence. Does practice in one area translate to gains in confidence overall? Is it a trait that is already there for children or can we help it grow? Tom points out how giving encouragement can help someone be confident. "You got this!" Part of the art of teaching is figuring out what conditions different children need to feel confident to try things. Ross wonders if it's as simple as working alongside one another and keeping things fun. Joey mentions a recent critique she read of how too much adult interference in children's activities increases anxiety. The conversation winds up with a deep dive into the organization of block shelves.
