I think that this teacher is exactly right about the way she helped her student teacher. Some times learning form our mistakes is the best way to really learn something. I feel that way with my students sometimes. They need to make mistakes and then be able to ask for help and work through their frustrations so that they will really own their work. This is true also for my 20 month old Daughter. She is so eager to do things on her own and determined to be independent. When it is appropriate to let her try something alone and she fails she always turns around to look for mommy and daddy to help her. By letting her realize her limits on her own terms we have less fight and more understanding of limits.
When Failure is the Best Option
