Teach students to handle failure-

Font Size :

In the present scenario, we see too many kids who are unable to handle failure. Parents need to devise various methods to empower children with ability handle dashed hopes. Parents need to get empowered with nuances of handling such situations. 

Children need to be taught that failure is inevitable and part of life. It is not necessary for everyone to be the best at everything all times.  These days, frequently we see lot of children bursting out when things don’t go their way or becoming too emotional after a lost contest.

Most essentially, parents need to drive in the point to children that everyone cannot win all the time and everyone neednt lose all the time. Even if they lost repeatedly, teach them to lose boldly and with pride rather than losing like a coward.

Here are some tips to prepare our kids to handle failure well.
 
Tip 1: Effort more important, not outcome: Parents should always appreciate the effort, rather than the outcome. Stress the importance of working hard. Doesn’t matter how big the loss, but emphasize on giving the best try and enjoy the entire process. Teach them to learn out of the failure and wait patiently for the next the chance, as time itself will heal their pain of crashed dreams.

Tip 2: Regular Games: Encourage kids to play various types of indoor and out door games as regularly as possible. Regular games will make the child robust to handle failures as there always would be another chance to play next time or next day.

Encourage children to play mind games with sibling and friends. However, with a single child, parents need to take on the role of siblings, not giving in. Let them see that you play to win, but lose gracefully too.

Tip 3: Parents Emotions: Your own expectations and reactions to situation play a major role in the formation of  a child. Whetherreacting to homework, tests, report cards, contests, or games – definitely it sends out a strong message. Be careful yourself, be mindful of yoru actions.

Even young babies as old as six months, can read subtle signals of the parents. Studies prove that the same child would react to the same situation in a different manner to the different parents (mother and father).

So parents need learn when to cuddle, how much to pamper and how much to cooed.   

How many parents are aware that they transmit their own anxiety to kids. So be careful the way you react to certain situations.

Tip 4: Test competence, than success: Competing with others can be limiting. By competing with themselves, and continuously improving, kids can fulfill their true potential. Such children turn out to be self-motivated, and don’t give up in the face of adversity.

Few schools don’t have formal tests and some have a highly competitive exam-centric environment. Make an informed decision so that you don’t end up pulling your child in opposite directions at home and at school.

Tip 5: Every child is unique: Some kids are capable to perform well under pressure, but some succumb to the pressure.

It is very important to know your child.  Only you can know what is right for that child, because another child of yours require a different mode of approach. Have courage to go against the tide if you believe it is best for your child. There will be times you will feel the peer pressure as a parent, but if you hold out, you will be glad you didn’t.

There are many great saying about failure and success. Failure is only to those who has stopped trying.  

'If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative'. - Woody Allen

“It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final”. - Roger Babson
