Let your child make mistakes
As a parent you should understand that it’s inevitable not to make any mistakes in our life, mistakes are only a part of the learning process as we go through life. Make sure to hell your child recognizes that making mistakes is not something that they should be ashamed of but something that they should learn from. Basic challenges in your home or at school can be a starting point to teach these things.

So it is great that even at the early stage you will teach your children to face their fears through words of encouragement.
Equip your child with the necessary tools to face what they fear and one-step-at-a-time, help them conquer it. Do not forget to often reward them for their courageous little steps- and that can even be cheering or praising them for their bravery.

As a parent, you probably know by now that it is not always easy to allow change to happen in our life and sometimes as humans we try to avoid it as much as we can. You children will also try to resist changes thus, it is essential that we teach them that things will not always remain the same and things around us will constantly change. You can always become a role model and be creative to teach them important lessons through your behaviour.
