What if children believed that mistakes were part of learning, not something to be ashamed of? In this practical seminar, we’ll explore how to shift children’s mindsets away from fear of failure and toward a love of learning and growth. We’ll discuss how to praise effort, not just outcomes, and how to create an environment where risk-taking is safe and celebrated.
Perfectionism and fear of failure are appearing earlier and more often in young children. As practitioners, you have the power to shape how children think about effort, mistakes, and self-worth. You can teach them that failure isn’t final—it’s feedback.
Through real-life examples, playful activities, and mindset coaching tools, you’ll gain new ways to build confidence, resilience, and self-motivation in your setting. This is about raising curious, courageous learners—not perfect ones.
