Not only is it something I want to convey to my own child, it's something I could use in my own life sometimes as well. It's funny how parenting can be equal parts learning for your child and a reminder to practice what you preach :)McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949918459577093740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-79532723721713545992015-08-03T15:20:30.662-06:002015-08-03T15:20:30.662-06:00I think a lot about this, and you've put it re...I think a lot about this, and you've put it really well. People spend so much time raising up their kids to be great, to be awesome, to be as good as they can be. To be right the first time. To not make mistakes. But sometimes it feels like there's a piece missing, the piece that says "it's okay that I messed up. Sometimes, in fact, it's even better to make a mistake and then to fix that mistake, than it is to never learn from making mistakes."neal callhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285975416175230777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-61504433669806732992015-08-03T13:12:24.041-06:002015-08-03T13:12:24.041-06:00This is beautifully written.

(Peter T McIntyre) Same general concept, I think. Something I hope to teach my boys, as well.Carynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922117512361167545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-70269026925553684092015-08-02T21:28:24.566-06:002015-08-02T21:28:24.566-06:00How beautiful.

It is such an important life lesson to learn, that not everyone has the privilege of realising (I'm sure we've met quite a few adults who sadly never got this). We all have this fear of being seen to be wrong in a situation. Pride and ego can get in the way. But it's so important to have empathy and to be able to look at our part in a situation. That self awareness is priceless and will serve your daughter well in life.

By encouraging children to identify and learn from their mistakes we are encouraging important growth and metacognitive awareness. This is is an ongoing conversation I need to start with my children.

Children have to make mistakes to learn and unfortunately sometimes those mistakes will hurt.... My little one is 7 months old and he just started crawling just a few weeks ago. Now he is starting to bump his head, trip over his little hands etc. But as you said in your article, it will only make him stronger. Keep up the great work! I would love to link on social media!
