Copilul spune mereu „nu știu”, deși știe răspunsul? Ce se poate ascunde în spatele acestor cuvinte și cum îl ajuți să aibă încredere în el

Children often say "I don't know" even when they do, reflecting a lack of confidence rather than ignorance. This behavior can stem from fear of making mistakes or disappointing others. Psychologist Elena Ardelean notes that many children hesitate to express their opinions, especially after starting school, where evaluations become more formal. Praise for intelligence can lead to anxiety when faced with challenges, as mistakes may feel like a threat to their perceived abilities. Parents can help by encouraging risk-taking in responses and reassuring children that errors are part of learning.
