[quote=Anonymous]My son used to get very defensive when he was corrected because he seemed to think that he should just know whatever he'd been corrected for. I started prefacing my comments with statements like, "You wouldn't have any reason to know x because you haven't been in this situation before" or "This is something that most parents have to share with their kids" and the like so he'd know that he wasn't "bad" or "stupid" when we were correcting him, but just filling him in on what he didn't know yet. I also used to point out times when I'd been corrected or learned something i didn't know to show him that there's no shame in it.[/quote]
