On “What’s Trending”, hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest Rabbi Gaines discuss the importance of letting kids learn from their mistakes and why parents should embrace their own imperfections too.
Mistakes = Growth
Mistakes are proof that you’re trying. Rabbi Gaines explains why it’s important to help kids (and ourselves) view mistakes as stepping stones to improvement.
Positive Parenting
Instead of shaming kids when they mess up, help them learn from the situation. This builds confidence and problem-solving skills for the future.
Modeling Imperfection
Admitting your own mistakes as a parent shows your kids that everyone makes them. It also teaches them how to take ownership and improve.
