LET OUR CHILDREN MAKE MISTAKES
Allowing your child to make mistakes isn't about hurting their feelings but when they make the wrong decisions it's about helping your child develop the problem and improve their powers.
of course, you would never want to allow your child to make a mistake that would cause real harm. you never want your child to feel sad but you can help your child navigate such emotions by explaining that everybody experiences these feelings. for example, i and my son love to play cards whenever we play, I sometimes let him win to see his smile and, sometimes I don't let him win to see how challenging he can be
let them learn from their own experience. you can't shield your child from the realities of this world forever.
I think it's necessary to let kids get bored once in a while that's how they learn to be creative. do not handicap your children by making their lives easy, if we do everything for our children, how will they learn to do anything for themselves?
when your child asks you for help or any question do not share your knowledge immediately. first, you should encourage them to try and ask them their opinion. let them do it first their way and then help them to improve. when a child takes a decision and makes mistakes they understand their strengths and they are able to learn to tolerate stress and develop their own way
let them forget their lunch.
let them miss a target.
let them wear dirty socks.
let them leave their homework at home let them fail a test.
a wrong answer, a failed test, a lost library book are all opportunities for your child to learn. let them experience those tough moments. show him how to respond for next time
They'll never be successful without a few failures, they will never be strong unless they get hurt. allowed to make smaller mistakes early on in life will have a better idea of how to emotionally handle the aftermath
If I protect my children from making mistakes means I just delay them from learning the lessons they need to learn
