I have one more rule in my house. "Making mistakes is allowed and encouraged. provided you recognise the mistake and try to learn from it"

I hate seeing kids get paralysed by fear of failure. I want my kids to try and fail, it's the fastest way to learn and succeed.

I love this!

It was this fear that stopped me from learning to ski until I was in my 30s and finally past the stage where I cared about screwing up and looking silly. Since then the joy I've felt on the slopes has been indescribable.

So on behalf of those future adults, thank you!
