Jenkins commented, “If you do well
in something, you build self-confi

take risks to be batter. If the
family environment encourages
(these kinds of) risks, the circle can
start.”
Still, there’s an individual ele

Rubin, "the child may be motivated

Focusing on the belief that we all

Rubin suggested setting gods, de

them, and keeping in mind that
there are always more options than
