Romper – Ashley Jones
Letting my kids make big mistakes is not something I’m particularly great at. I’m prone to give them a safety net and be the mom who can help pick up the pieces swiftly. But the older they get, the more I see the benefits of letting kids make mistakes. When they were little, seeing them try to climb up the tallest ladder on the playground only to have them fall flat on their back when they realized they weren’t quite big enough or strong enough to do it yet just broke my heart. However, I now see the benefit of letting them learn lessons the hard way — by making their own mistakes.
