Embracing Failure's Gifts
Overparenting can stifle children's self efficacy and long-term motivation. When parents intervene too much, they rob kids of essential learning experiences, such as facing the consequences of their actions. Additionally, relying on extrinsic motivators, like money for grades, can diminish intrinsic motivation, making it harder for kids to engage in activities like homework or practicing an instrument. Embracing challenges through "desirable difficulties" can foster resilience and independence in young learners.In this clip
