Some children get praised for the finished homework, the full school day, or the calm behaviour.
But the biggest win may have happened long before anyone noticed.
They asked for help instead of shutting down.
They got dressed when anxiety said stay in bed.
They walked through the school gate.
They used words when they felt like hitting.
They tried again after getting it wrong.
What looks โordinaryโ from the outside can take every bit of a childโs courage on the inside.
Letโs notice the effort, not only the outcome. A quiet โI saw how hard that was for youโ can mean more than we realise.
