What is self-reliance? Self-reliance means you trust yourself and your abilities. You believe you can complete tasks, solve problems, and reach your goals.
🏗️ Why This Matters
These skills are like building blocks. You need them first before you can build other good habits and attitudes. Without these skills, it's hard to feel good about yourself.
- Think of it like building a house - you need a strong foundation first
- These skills help you believe in yourself
- They help you understand that you need to keep improving

🤔 Questions to Think About

👨👩👧👦 What do your family and friends like about you?
😟 Do you worry too much about what other kids think of you?

Other people are like mirrors for our feelings and actions. They can help us see things we can't see ourselves.
❓ Ask 'What' Questions
When you want to understand your feelings, ask 'What' questions instead of 'Why' questions.
- Instead of "Why am I scared?" ask "What makes me scared?"
- 'What' questions help you figure out what to do
- 'Why' questions sometimes make us feel bad about ourselves
- Try asking 'What' about something that bothers you
