As you think about helping infants and toddlers in your care develop a healthy sense of self, it is important to reflect on your own early experiences that shaped your self-concept and resilience. Take some time to reflect on your own sense of self as you answer the following questions. Then, discuss your answers with a trainer, coach, or administrator.

1. What two skills do you feel you are really good at? When did you know you were good at these skills?
    
2. Describe a time when you doubted your ability in these two skills. How did you overcome this doubt and persevere?
