Kids don't come with an instruction manual. So if you're gonna make mistakes, at least make them your own way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everything from airplanes to kitchen blenders and even chopsticks comes with an instruction manual. Children, despite all their complexity, do not.
Instruction does not prevent wasted time or mistakes; and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all.
The worst mistake you can make with children is to talk to them in a condescending, patronising way and think that you can teach them something. You have to understand that it is you who will be learning from them. You have to get into their world and see things from their perspective.
I noticed that when it came time to improvise, my students would often make mistakes.
I think someone should explain to the child that it's OK to make mistakes. That's how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.
It's okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are our teachers - they help us to learn.
By what you do, you teach your children how to respond to difficult information.
Almost everyone who has claimed to know what kids need to learn or how they learn has turned out to be wrong.
I learned a lot from my Mom. My favorite lesson: remember there is no such thing as a certain way to parent and to remember that you are learning along with your child - it's ok to make mistakes.
You don't want to give kids an idea that they might not have thought of.
