Quote

Children see adults as magical and all-powerful. When we intervene in a child’s every struggle and fix every problem, we reinforce this view. But if parents and caregivers can believe in a child’s capabilities, and if they can let a child work to figure things out and even allow for frustration and “failure”, then the child will show us that she is indeed capable of more than we can imagine.
