Have you ever seen an inquisitive eight-year-old throw away, in one afternoon, years of perceived failures by deciding they are “just not a math person”? It happens fast. And it tends to stick. Children don’t fall out of love with science because science is difficult. They fall out of love because at some point they conclude that they aren’t the kind of person who does science. That mindset develops long before choosing a college major. The good news? Confidence is something you develop. And the people around a child shape it more than they realize.
