About this listen
Confidence is one of the most powerful tools a child can carry into the classroom—especially for students with learning differences, behavioral challenges, or special-education supports.
In this week’s episode, Dominique McLellan, BCASE, shares practical ways parents and educators can help children feel capable, valued, and ready to learn.
You’ll hear the story of a student who rediscovered his voice once he felt safe to try, and you’ll learn three research-backed strategies that build lasting confidence:
1️⃣ Celebrate progress, not perfection.
2️⃣ Model positive self-talk and problem-solving.
3️⃣ Partner with teachers to create consistent encouragement at home and school.
These small, intentional actions can transform how children see themselves—not just as learners, but as capable people who belong in every classroom.
Quick Takeaway: Confidence isn’t about perfection; it’s a skill that grows with practice, patience, and partnership.
