Every time your toddler tries something new—whether it’s scribbling a letter, flipping a page, stacking a block, or saying a word in Spanish—they’re doing something incredible.
They’re building confidence.
And at Tiny Tee Books, we know confidence is just as important as ABCs and 123s.
Because confident kids become curious kids. Curious kids become life-long learners. And that all starts with encouragement. 🌱
đź’¬ Why Encouragement Over Correction?
While it’s easy to correct mistakes—“No, that’s not how you say it” or “Try again”—what kids really remember is how they felt when they tried.
Did they feel ashamed? Or celebrated?
That’s why at Tiny Tee Books, we encourage a different approach:
Cheer the effort. Celebrate the try. Honor the journey.
đź“š Three Ways to Build Confidence Every Day:
🧡 1. Celebrate effort, not just success
Instead of only praising results (“You got it right!”), try phrases like:
👉 “I saw how hard you tried!”
👉 “You didn’t give up—that’s awesome!”
This helps your child value persistence, not just perfection.
đź“– 2. Read stories that reflect their growth
Books like Big Feelings, Little Me and Brax Learns Spanish showcase characters who stumble, try again, and succeed. When toddlers see themselves in stories, they feel brave enough to try too.
🎉 3. Make mistakes part of the fun
Let learning be playful.
✨ Wiggly traced lines? Worth celebrating.
✨ Mispronounced words? Adorable and valuable.
✨ Curiosity-driven messes? Totally welcome.
Mistakes aren’t setbacks—they’re stepping stones.
👪 Today’s Parent Prompt:
What’s something your child tried recently that made you proud—even if it wasn’t perfect?
Drop your answer in the comments or share it in your stories and tag @TinyTeeBooks — we love celebrating little victories with you!
đź’ˇ Tiny Tee Tip:
Start an “I Did It!” jar or sticker chart. Let your child place a sticker every time they try something new—even if they don’t master it right away.
Pair it with a big high-five or a dance break! 🎉
Because confidence blooms with consistency and love.
đź’› Final Thought:
Raising confident children doesn’t require perfection.
It takes presence, praise, and patience.
Keep showing up. Keep cheering them on.
They’re growing—and so are you. 💕
