Who would think that failure had anything to do with hope? Yet an inability to fail well is at the root of many peoples' fear, worry, and lack of initiative. Strangely, fear of failure keeps us from ever succeeding. So how do we fail successfully? How does that bring hope to us when we're paralyzed with fear of it? Finding the tools to learn to fail successfully, and teaching them to our children, seems a very sane path toward hope.
Jill teaches some of the practical ideas outlined in her article on the A Fine Parent website. How can learning to fail truly release us from fears? How can teaching our children how to fail help them be happier, healthier, ultimately more successful kids?
Jill is available to make this presentation/conversation online.
