Then let them FEEL that delight from you. 2: Identify your child's top 3 character strengths (curiosity? empathy? leadership?) and look for one way to build on those strengths this week. 3: Create 15–20 minutes of 'private fail time' — unobserved independent play or work where your child can try, fail, and recover on their own.
