[quote=Anonymous][quote] I agree I can think of countless kids I knew who were "allowed to fail" and if anything it just set them on a downward spiral instead of serving as a catalyst for success. [/quote] On the other hand, giving them success--i.e. "helping" them with their work--to the point that the child is watching the parent do his homework, does not foster success. It may foster approval, but the child knows if he did not do the work. This happens more than you realize. DD did a science project with a partner--I later found out that partner's mom ran the whole thing. DD was not proud of that "A". Can't help but wonder how often this happens. [/quote]
