Becky and this is Good Inside.
So your kid comes home from school or gymnastics or baseball and tells you that they just can't do it.
It's too hard and everyone else in their class is better at the thing than they are.
Well,
this week I'm talking to a mom who's been doing all the right things to teach her son to believe in himself and it still isn't working.
And I think what triggered probably my worry was my son was like placed into a like gifted and talented pre-program.
He struggled with it.
And he told me, I'm the worst in the class.
I always finished last.
I'm dumb.
I don't want to be in this class.
And I think he was accustomed to being kind of like the first one in his class being finished.
being praised for doing well, and once he was placed in the class,
he felt like he was the worst out of this group of other children.
We'll be back right after this.
My name is Christine.
I have two boys ages eight and six.
I'm a, I guess, recent COVID stay-at-home mom.
Prior to that, I was working, and so I'm now very involved in the day-to-day lives of my boys.
