One thing I absolutely love about FSP is the emphasis on learning as a process, rather than a set of outcomes. Last night, we tried a bunch of different cooking techniques for
momos and a bunch of them fell apart. Kate quickly jumped in with
that's ok mom, mistakes are how we learn. Although I take mistakes hard, I wish for my children that ability to rejoice a bit in mistakes and the ability to laugh them off and keep trying.
Katie's class read
Leo the Late Bloomer and the kids made incredibly sweet drawings of where they have already bloomed and where they're sprouting... Sounds like a good idea for grown-ups taking stock, as well.... and grown-ups can take even more comfort with this new MobileActives new initiative "
failfaires" to celebrate all the mistakes that lead to brilliant innovation.
