Four powerful words are, “I can do it.” Everything anyone does begins in the mind and with what is said to oneself. If a child says, “I can’t do it.” The child can’t. The child has given up before he or she even tried. When that child attempts to do something, the odds are that it will be a failure. That is because the child believes that it is impossible. Similarly, if a child says, “I can,” the child has a great potential to actually be able to accomplish whatever it is that needs to be accomplished.
The politician who runs for office, says, “I can.” The marathon runner who completes the marathon, says, “I can” even when the going gets tough. The child who learns to say, “I can,” can move through those tough times to the other side. It all starts with belief. Children learn to believe in themselves when they have someone who believes in them. They need to hear, “I believe in you. You can do it.” There are many children who have never heard those words. That is where you come in. You are the cheerleader for children.
Have a great day and a wonderful week-end. You are a huge difference maker.

This is so true. I don't know how many of my children believe they "can't" do something but with constant yes you can, keep trying, you can do it, they become more confident and persistant in whatever task they are trying to accomplish
Great advise,even grown children need to be reminded,they can do anything they set their mind to!
Thanks both of you for your comments.
