[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let them struggle a bit. They need to learn on their own. If you snowflake them, they may get into whatever you want them to, but they won’t learn and they won’t achieve.[/quote] I actually say - let them fail. Also, I do a lot of 'I told you so. I'm 48 and didn't fall off the blueberry truck yesterday. Maybe next time you'll listen.' And 'remember last time when you thought I didn't understand. I did and I do now.' This is the exact opposite of what the psychologist tells you to do, but it worked for 2 so far.... I have 2 more to go. I can't even help being smug about some things. It's so natural for me.[/quote]
