English Corner 弋果新鮮事

今天弋果新鮮事要討論的話題是: 讓孩子們有失敗與犯錯的經驗。 孩子們要學習的是當遇到困難或失敗或犯了錯，要如何去面對問題，或是面對自我。 The quote is very ture-- “It's not about how many times you get knocked down; it's about how many times you're willing to stand back up.” 意思是「重點不在於你被擊倒了多少次，而是在於有多少次你願意重新再站起來。」以下是今天會討論的幾個重點:

Why we breed a culture of shame around failure?
What do children miss out on from making mistakes?
Famous failures and Tips.
