WHERE DID WE EVER GET
THE CRAZY IDEA THAT IN ORDER FOR CHILDREN TO DO BETTER, WE MUST MAKE THEM FEEL
BAD?
Imagine if your boss wanted you to get better at your
job. What would make you improve your
skills? Think about that. If you had a boss who made you feel bad on a
daily basis, you might shut down, start looking for a new job, have no respect
for your boss and lose confidence in your self.
We don’t need to make kids feel terrible about themselves. Choices and consequences that the child goes
through are much more powerful. Children
learn from their mistakes. We don’t need
to point them out and exaggerate them to make the child feel worse. Feeling terrible does not equate to doing
better.
