Why Confidence Is Just as Important as Knowing the Answer
from The Clara James Approach to learning · host Dawn Strachan
In this episode, we explore the idea that confidence is just as important as knowing the answer. So often, children feel like they’re “bad at maths” or “not good at English” simply because they lack belief in themselves. But when we nurture their confidence, we help them to engage more willingly, take more risks, and enjoy learning again. Through real-life examples and gentle insights, we talk about how parents and tutors can build a child’s self-belief — and why this can have just as much impact as academic revision.
