[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to hear some examples of where parents let their child fail (or potentially fail). We had one example where a parent didn't help a child with a school project. Are there other examples? Other than with schoolwork, I'm having a hard time finding examples in my parenting and I don't really consider myself a "snowplow" parent. [/quote] Like as in the rowing example, sports can be good for this. My DC has tried out for teams and not made them. They are on a middling soccer team. I encourage DC to practice more, but she hasn't been motivated. So she's stayed on the middling team. Just recently, DC has been wanting to put extra work in and get better. Much better than me forcing extra practice, trying to get her onto a better team, yelling from the sidelines, saying something to the coach, etc.[/quote]
