All parents should ask ourselves these two questions:
- What does my child hear or see when I make a mistake?
- What does my child hear or see when he makes a mistake?
Based on our answers to these two questions, you and I need to figure out how we can become better models of learning from mistakes, and how we can teach our children to learn from mistakes.
Two tools can help us:
- Modeling good problem solving.
- Teaching our children to set and achieve goals.
Watch for more about these two topics soon.
