Is there someone always watching over you?
Telling you how you do something, or avoid doing something. All this to stop you from making mistakes!
~*~*~*~
Tell them you will never learn
From the mistakes, they’ve made
It doesn’t register when it’s not you
I want to make my own mistakes
So that at the end of the day I can say
That I did try, that I took that risk
Mistakes are when we know how not to do things
No one could do it perfectly the first time
Trial and error teach us how to do things properly
So, kindly I say to them
Please let me take that decision
That will teach me how to do it right!
~*~*~*~
(I am one of those who are always trying to tell my children how to do things better, how to avoid making mistakes. But a chance remark made me realize how important it is for everyone to learn it their own way)

I know, and yet if we stand back and let them make their own mistakes, theyโll thank us for it later. Sorry for the late reply, this post was supposed to be published today and mistakenly it got published yesterday.

We all have our own paths to walk, and our lessons to learn.
I know this, but I still make mistakes and try to save my girls from pain.๐๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ๐

Yes, same here. I guess itโs ingrained in our psyche to try to prevent them from making mistakes. Thanks Angie

True true. The effect and lesson is long lasting when we make the mistake ourselves.
You telling your children how to avoid mistakes is out of love and just as effective.

It’s a pleasant sentiment. However, I feel the better path is to recognise that sometimes it’s necessary to point out errors. If everyone were to learn only from their own mistakes, the world would be in an even more dire situation that it is already. You do teach your children not to run across the road without checking for traffic first, right?

Yes, youโre right and we do teach ourselves the basics. However this sentiment was shared by one of my kids, when they said that they want to make their own mistakes and to learn from them, just as I did. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
