Beyond Behaviour: Confidence. Helping Children Believe in Themselves Again

Looking beyond achievement to better understand confidence, identity, self-belief and the child beneath the performance.

Part of the Beyond Behaviour Conversation Series

Many children don't stop trying because they lack ability.

They stop trying because they stop believing they are capable.

Confidence isn't simply about feeling good.

It shapes how children approach learning, relationships, challenges, and failure.

This relaxed and thought-provoking evening will explore how confidence develops, why some children lose belief in themselves and how parents and professionals can help rebuild it.

Together, we'll discuss:

• Why confidence is the hidden curriculum

• The difference between confidence and self-esteem

• Fear of failure and avoiding challenge

• Identity, mindset and the stories children tell themselves

• How adults unintentionally influence confidence

• Practical ways to nurture lasting self-belief

Whether your child struggles with school, friendships, anxiety, or simply believing in themselves, this conversation will provide practical insights and a fresh perspective.

This is not a motivational seminar.

It is an opportunity to reflect, learn and connect with others who want to better understand the children in their lives.

Hosted by Jason Sharpe, educator, speaker and founder of Beyond Behaviour.

📅 Last Thursday of the month

🕖 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
