How self-confident should my child be?

In the self-confidence spectrum, you see all kinds of kids. There are the ones who are bold, strong, and can strike up a ten-minute conversation with the UPS guy. And there are the ones who are so shy that they spend more time behind Mom's leg than on the jungle gym.

We appreciate both kinds of kids. But it seems to us that the ideal is somewhere in between. Think about it: If you were a passenger on a raft, you wouldn't want a river guide to be so bold and brave and reckless that he's being unsafe and taking you down a sixty-foot waterfall.

But you also don't want a guide so unsure of himself that he doesn't allow you to experience any of the thrills of negotiating some rapids.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
