Consider the following example.

Your child tries to walk for the first time. They put two steps together and fall over. You give up on your child ever walking successfully and in turn your child gives up on themselves also.

What happens next?

Imagine the child says, "Stuff it. I gave this walking thing a try, but it doesn't work. I think I'll stick with crawling."

Change takes time and sometimes we need to be generous with our time to observe the change and associated growth. Take one step at a time and don't give up.

If the above example was real life, the parent and child would never think about giving up.
