Can Do KIds
What do you think your child would do if she knew she could not fail? What if your son discovered that swinging at the baseball with his eyes closed did not lead to many successful hits and there was probably another way to succeeed at that task?
Does your child decide whether or not to do something based upon whether or not he thinks he will succeed?
When asked what he would be doing if he had not invented the light bulb on his 10,000th attempt, Thomas Edison replied,"I would be in the lab working on number 10,001. Not here talking to you.
You can raise children whose only question is, "How can I do it?" Such a person knows there are no failures. There are only results other than what we had pictured. And there is always another way to attempt until the desired result happens. Always...when you are a Can Do Person.
Is it hard to raise a Can Do Kid? Actually it is easier than parenting any other way.
