TEACH PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS
(Problems are challenges to accept, not disasters to avoid)
a. Present challenges that can be conquered with effort
b. Reward the effort and present a new challenge
c. Each new challenge should further stretch the child's abilities
TEACH CHILDREN TO ACT POSITIVELY RATHER THAN REACT NEGATIVELY
a. Find solutions instead of blame
TEACH RISK-TAKING

c. Make the failure a learning experience
