Let Your Child Make Mistakes (Grandma Jeddah)
Provide
your child with the opportunity to make mistakes. Making mistakes offers a chance to
learn. How should I do this again next
time? What did I do that caused this to
happen? Your child learns naturally due
to her actions. The difficult part is often for the parent--it can be a trying situation
for a parent to know that the likely outcome for her child will be an
unfortunate experience. Letting go and
allowing your child to learn from mistakes can be difficult, but it can be
helpful for your child and result in less management and direction on your part
. . .which means a bit of added ease for you.
