I agree with you that kids need to be confident. When I was a child this concept was not very understood in my country and neither parents nor teacher were trying to build the confidence. It was all about the materials that you had to learn and if you didn't you were the loser. Nobody cared what was the reason of your failure.

I like your examples and your attitude. I can 'see' those kids looking around and seeing all those players.. thinking I am going to like him :)

Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your curie vote!
