My Confidence Ladder

One Step Closer. You don't have to jump to the top. Keep moving.

MY LADDERMY PACEMY PROGRESS

Start with what feels possible.

When school feels impossible, the goal is not to leap from home to a full day in one move. Build the route yourself, one rung at a time.

Moving back a rung is not failure. It tells you and the adults supporting you what needs more practice or support.

Use ▲ and ▼ to reorder. Aim for about 5–9 rungs.
