I think that when anybody writes about their life, especially if you're doing it for publication, you are trying to say not just the smartest thing. But school doesn't teach you how to fail at all, and I think that one of the things that parents need to show kids how to do is fail, and fail well, let's hope, not terribly spectacularly, but fail all the time.
Have you ever thought about how failure can be a stepping stone to success? In this episode of 'Real Life Resilience', Stacy Curtis sits down with Debra Ross, the driving force behind KidsOutAndAbout.com, to explore the transformative power of writing and gratitude in children's lives. Debra believes that if kids aren't failing regularly, they might not be pushing themselves hard enough. Through her own experiences, she shares how writing can fast-track a child's success and help them develop resilience.
But it's not just about writing well; it's about embracing vulnerability and learning to fail gracefully. Debra offers practical advice for parents on how to encourage their children to write letters of gratitude to those who positively impact their lives. This practice not only improves writing skills but also fosters a sense of appreciation and connection. She also touches on the importance of discussing texting habits with kids, turning everyday communication into meaningful storytelling.
Tune in to discover how these simple yet powerful practices can help your children navigate life's challenges with resilience and grace.
