Some children have a very delicate mind and get broken on small matters. These children are not able to face every challenge and many times such situations arise in their life where their courage starts failing. It is the responsibility of the parents to make the children capable of facing challenges.
If your child also gives up too quickly or his courage and confidence are wavering, then you can definitely do something about it. Here we are telling you about some such methods with the help of which you can change your child’s habit of giving up too quickly.
Appreciate efforts, not perfection
We often praise straight ‘A’ grades or successful work. However, you should also praise the child’s efforts. Did he spend extra time on his drawing? Adopted a new strategy to solve a math problem? Appreciate his hard work and patience, teach him that the journey of learning is valuable, even if the end result is not perfect.

Divide large tasks
Imagine looking at a mountain, it seems overwhelming, right? The same goes for children when they face big projects or challenging goals. Help them break it down into smaller tasks. This will not intimidate the child. Whether it is making a to-do list for a science project or tying their shoelaces, give them one task at a time. This makes the task less intimidating and keeps them motivated after completing each small task.
Explain the importance of trying
Teach children that it is not just results that matter, but efforts too. This helps them move forward. Praise their progress and efforts, no matter what the result is. This will make them understand that effort is important and it enhances their abilities.
Accomplish small goals
Break down bigger goals into smaller parts and help children accomplish them. This will help them manage bigger tasks easily and feel happy when they achieve each smaller goal.
Apart from this, encourage children to adopt a positive attitude. Teach them that failure is not the end, but a part of learning. With a positive attitude, they can face every challenge with patience and enthusiasm.
Offer sympathy and support
Provide empathy and support to children. Make them feel that they are not alone and you are always with them. This will increase their confidence and they will be able to face difficulties.
