Learned helplessness in children can manifest as frequent expressions of inability to solve problems. This mindset can be influenced by adults, who may inadvertently foster it through their actions. Colleen Borgert, a teacher and mom, shares a technique called the 'Give me three' method, which prompts children to attempt a task three times before asking for help. This approach empowers kids to make efforts independently, reinforcing their problem-solving skills and reducing reliance on adults for guidance.
Borgert emphasized that adults often contribute to children's learned helplessness, urging parents to recognize their role in fostering this mindset and its implications.
The "Give me three" method encourages children to try tasks independently before seeking help, reinforcing the importance of their effort and allowing them to realize their own capabilities.
