"In fact, confidence isn't a character strength at all, but instead the rather magical thing that starts to unfold inside children as they learn to know themselves, push out their boundaries, and get comfortable in their own skins. It's what grows bigger and stronger as they try, and fail, and try again. And as they learn to negotiate friendships, acquire skills, and begin to sense their own strength and spirit."
