Current school testing does opposite. Vast parts of the school year is test prep and they are told this test will define their entire lives.

I was one of those rare, but grateful ones with parents like this. Thank you mom and dad!

I would love to show the next generation "Meet the Robinsons." That movie made me see failure not as scary, but rather an opportunity

Many parents may not know how to deal with their own fuckups let alone teach someone else

You cannot teach kids about failure when all we're doing is removing failure. From sports, from games, from testing, etc.

The concept of resilience is pretty interesting. Look up Emmy Werners kauai-study, you can learn a thing or two.

Omg I'm nearly crying at the realization my husband makes me scared to fuck up. My daily routine is doing whatever I need to avoid fights

Tell your husband how you feel now. If he cant respect you enough to try to change then leave. Being scared is no way to live your life.

I've been anxious and fearing conflict since 4th grade. Not sure I'm even fixable anymore.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Correct. Acceptance of fallibility is a milestone in maturing; you WILL make mistakes. What matters is how you fix them.

I'd love to, but the world doesn't tolerate mistakes.

If you know what your problem is, fix it yourself weakling.

This is one of the reasons im angry at my dad. It was don't try unless you do it perfectly right. Then called stupid for messing up.

Hell fucking yes. One of the biggest things I work through with my kinders.

Failure isn't a crisis to cope with, it's a requirement of growth. The object is to fail well and believe that you'll get further next time.

I would probably have needed this about 15 years ago.

Same. Every failure was screamed at me and their love was based on conditions I could never live up to.

Same. I don’t want kids for various reasons, but sometimes I want to raise kids right, the way I wish I had grown up.

One of the best pieces of advise I ever got when I was first starting in carpenters was from and old guy I worked with. He said 1/2

"Its not that a good carpenter never messes up, what makes a carpenter good is being able to fix it so that nobody can tell you messed up"

This is just life now. It's not ideal, I don't feel better about it. In fact I'm kind of dead on the inside. At least I'm not worried?

If you've ever tried anything new, you're bound to make mistakes

If you're making no mistakes, you're not pushing yourself

How many dads made fun of them or yelled at them the first time they threw a ball? Mine did.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So what you're saying is; don't try anything new and I'll make less mistakes? Awesome!

8 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 0

Nah sounds like you'll still be making the same mistakes at what's not new.

How about you teach them it's okay to make mistakes but they should learn from them and do their best to not do it again

That's what the post is saying

Sometimes a problem can't be fixed. Instead learn from your mistakes so you don't create more problems alongside the initial one.

"When you lose, don't lose the lesson." I teach my daughter this every single chance I get. And how to overcome fear/anxiety without help.

My parents were pretty straight forward with me. They didn't praise failure. They didn't reward success. They just said words.

Ah, the wise power of the spoken words.

"You're adopted", "Pay rent or get out", "Gas, grass or ass"

8 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

They never said Gas Grass or Ass but they did say the other two quite frequently. Now I moved away and all they do is tell me to come home

I'm a sarcastic piece of shit. But I grab life by the horns and if I don't succeed at something I take a step back, analyze and try again.

After about the 3rd or 4th try I start to have a mental break down and throw a silent fit. If I don't get it by the 5th I completely give up

That's how you end up with B-sians, not Asians.

That's actually a major problem in japan right now, companies there (that have no connections to the US) don't like to take risks
