Growing Character through Confidence

Being confident means developing assurance and appreciation for your abilities and qualities.  At Thanksgiving Point, many of our exhibits were created the goal of developing this awesome characteristic! Trying new activities as a family can boost everyone’s confidence. Climbing the Rainforest at the Museum of Natural Curiosity or exploring the five-story playground at Mountain America Jurassic Jungle helps kids and parents step out of their comfort zones. These shared victories create a sense of accomplishment and reinforce resilience, making everyone feel more empowered.

What Thanksgiving Point is doing:

  • Developing new exhibits that encourage confidence, such as the Champer of Courage, and the Innovation Station!
  • Integrating confidence into team member trainings and guest programming.
  • Providing growth opportunities.
  • Expanding a child’s vocabulary to include scientific words and terms creates higher self-confidence in future science learning.

What you can do:

  • Try something new, like the ropes course at MONC!
  • Replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations.  “I can do this!”
  • Celebrate wins, no matter how small!
  • Embrace mistakes and failure as opportunities to learn and grow.
