While toddlers are busy exploring what they can do, caregivers play an important role behind the scenes. Gentle encouragement, clear choices, and patient guidance help children feel safe enough to try new things. Instead of stepping in too quickly, we offer just the right amount of support—what we call “scaffolding”—so toddlers can succeed without feeling overwhelmed.
You’ll see this in our classrooms every day: a caregiver offering a quiet reminder, modeling how to try again, or celebrating a child’s effort as much as their success. This balanced approach helps toddlers take ownership of their actions and build the resilience they’ll use for years to come. When caring adults believe in children’s abilities, toddlers learn to believe in themselves.
