🪄 Magical Words To Cure Mistake Worries 🤦 I’ll never forget the day my Daughter brought home Her Homework From SCHool For The 1st Time. ❔There were marks everywhere. 🤷 As she had just started learning to write patterns. 🙇 She was feeling anxious, scared and confused. 🤔 "My child ," I asked, "if you're not sure about how to write the patterns in a correct way next time, what might you try?" 🤷 She gave a small shrug. 🤔 "How about just trying from the 1st step of guessing which pattern it is? " I gently offered. 🙍 Her eyes widened, "But what if I get it wrong?" ➡️ For some children, worrying about making mistakes can feel as real as being scared of those imaginary monsters under the bed. 🫴 And here’s the problem. 😨 This fear can sometimes hold our children back from diving into new adventures or taking on challenges. 🤔 So, the big question - how do we encourage our children to give things a go, even if it might lead to a mistake or two? 🫴 Here’s a fun approach: ➡️ Introduce "marvelous mistakes" into your family's language. ✌️Celebrate them, laugh about them, and show that they're just stepping stones on the path to learning and growing. 💁 Every new mistake is proof that we had the courage to step out and try. 👉 Here’s how we use “marvelous mistakes” in our family:- 1️⃣ When my Daughter gets Homework From School , I excitedly say, “Wow, these are all new And Beautiful Patterns! 👉 This is a challenge for sure. 🤷 So I’m expecting some marvelous mistakes from you!” 2️⃣ And if She happens to write something incorrectly during our practice, I cheer, “High five! 🤷 That's learning in action!” 3️⃣ We then have a little chat on how to ace it the next time around. #anamify #consciousrelationships #parentchildrelationship #marvelousmistakes #howtohelpyourchildtolesrnfromtheirmistakes @singleparentjourney @singleparentcoach
