A few months ago we commented on the letter full of charm from their parents to their daughter on their first day of school and especially wanted to stop in the section that children should not, as the father recommends Isabel, never lose the desire to learn with voracity, learn from others and especially not to worry about being wrong.
And, as I read in the blog of Making Decisions, having to do things right always and at first it is stressful even for a child. So we should not worry that children do not learn at the same pace as others, to be confused, to be distracted, to like more a subject than another. The goal is to at least try to do them well and not feel bad if they are wrong. Of course then parents will also have our responsibility, first to encourage them because they have gone wrong what they have tried and second, to motivate them to try again.
I do not like the attitude of reproach or reprobation that parents can / can do in the face of the acts of children who do not achieve success. And, if there is effort, dedication, work, enthusiasm and even passion we have to be understanding, encourage them and wait until they try again with joy.
So as this goes that we can all be wrong, what better reflection for parents than to think that if we have made a mistake in our response to the child, what we will have to do is learn and rectify. Children love to play, learn, strive, have fun and learn at full speed. We do not restrict their capacity by narrowing roads or closing doors and creating spaces for them to develop their creativity and motivation.
As Miguel Ariño says "Having to succeed is always a stressful thing" So cheer up with the kids at home. Let's learn from their mistakes, encourage them, give them love and do everything we can to try again. What if, Of course children can be wrong, and so they also learn. Although we have to be part of that learning.
