Port Barre Elementary School

Mistakes are the beginning of learning Everyone makes mistakes. But when mistakes are viewed negatively, kids learn to fear failure. This makes them less likely to take positive risks or finish things they don't think they can do perfectly. When your child makes a mistake, stay calm and discuss what can be learned from it. In general, try to focus more of your attention on the things your child does right rather than on mistakes. https://tpitip.com/?14lL17376
