Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of children, each uniquely wonderful and facing their own sets of challenges. In this vast tapestry of experiences, one thread consistently stands out as crucial for success: confidence. Confidence is not just about feeling good; it’s the deep-seated belief that one can truly accomplish something significant.
From personal experience, I can attest that the absence of consistent support and belief from others can rapidly erode confidence. The effects of this loss are profound and often difficult to reverse. We all carry an internal voice—a narrator in our minds—that continuously crafts the story of who we are and what we are capable of achieving, or failing to achieve.
My own story was narrated by a voice that was far from kind. Throughout my school years, it relentlessly told me I wasn’t smart enough, good enough, or fast enough. It was a voice shaped not just by my environment but also by my own self-doubt, echoing the sentiments of dismissive teachers and critical classmates. This narrative, once internalized, became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts, coloring my perceptions and choices.
Recognizing the destructive power of such negative internal dialogues, I have dedicated my career to transforming this narrative for others. In my role as an educational therapist and executive skills coach, I strive to be the consistent, encouraging voice for each child I work with—the voice that counters doubts, champions their potential and fosters an unshakeable belief in their capabilities. It’s not just about teaching skills; it’s about rewriting the internal scripts that dictate their paths, ensuring that every child believes they are indeed enough, just as they are.
