Welcome to parenting where mistakes are inevitable as your child is maturing and as you’re becoming an established parent. As a parent, it’s more satisfactory and basically easier to direct your energy on grabbing some lessons from the mistakes rather than pushing too hard to avoid them.
As a millennial parent, adopting a growth mindset where you view mistakes as a great avenue of learning something new is the way to go.
You can also develop a perspective of seeing mistakes as challenges that aim at making you and your children better rather than obstacles. Remember you’re the only potter molding the delicate life of your kid hence you must be creative in managing their mistakes.
When they make mistakes, try to create a serene atmosphere for them to open up by getting down to their level and working through the mistake together, rather than being furious.
Nevertheless, all these spring from a simple plan development of what to do whenever a mistake occurs. After every mistake, try not to be a critic or judgmental so that you can know what really happened.
Additionally, assess why you think that mistake occurred so that you will not punish the kid unfairly. Finally, you should grab a lesson from the mistake and visualize how you can apply this lesson to prevent a future occurrence of the same mistake.
