Beware of teaching your children
to climb the ladder of success.
Ladders lead down
as well as up.
If you overly protect your children
they will fea failure
and avoid pain.
But failure and pain
are twin reachers
of important lessons.
Unless your children fully experience both
how will they know
they have nothing to fear?
*Your children do not learn from their successes.
They learn from their failures.
They must have complete permission to try
and fail,
and discover that they are still OK.
What has your child failed at recently?
How did they react?
How did that make you feel?
How can you each learn from this?
