Getting Friendly with Failure: Responding to Your Child When Things Don’t Work Out

Getting Friendly with Failure: Responding to Your Child When Things Don’t Work Out

by | Family Resources, MFA, Montessori Family Life, Montessori Parenting, Parenting on the Same Page, Video, Webinars / MFA

When inventing the light bulb Thomas Edison once said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” How do we help our children recognize that failure is how we learn? How do we nurture an attitude of curiosity, enjoyment, and positivity about life with all its ups and downs? Join us to hear about some of the ways Montessori guides work with students in the classroom on the issue of failure that can also work at home.

Why do we arbitrarily put time limits on our children’s learning and development? What could be the benefits for young children in spending a little more time in early childhood or elementary school? What benefit might a high school graduate gain from taking a year or two off from school before going on to higher education? How might a college graduate benefit from taking some time to travel or to volunteer in the Peace Corps or teach English in a foreign country? Join us as we talk together about “the gift of an extra year.”

The value of sharing your family’s home language and culture can not be underestimated for your child and family as well as for the community you live in. Join us as we explore some of the answers to that question.
