It builds confidence.you'll never be able to prevent failure. ever.yep. let them get hurt and realize what it means. let them fall so you can teach them to get up. let them get disrespected so you can teach them respect for others.It was just more hidden then, it hasn’t increased, just awareness. Kids are overprotected these days.
let them be kids.
^^^ That...kids are going to fail, pick them up, dust them off and tell them to try again.
Sometimes it's difficult to let them try but they are learning valuable life lessons...when they do fail, teach them that lesson
more important is to teach them how to succeed from failure.
And never give them participation trophies...all it does is create mediocrity
No it doesn't...it tells them just being there is enough. Being there and winning are two different things.
