Dealing with "i cant"

[mumofone]

Does anyone have any good strategies or literature they could share for when children say "I can't" a lot? Thank you

Children here know early on that we dont say I cant. We say I am trying to..........

You change it to 'can't yet' and yes, they need to keep trying!

I have one that's forever saying 'I can't do it'

My rule is they have to try themselves once before they get any help, usually find they can do it and it's just laziness!
