6 Ways to help your child overcome the fear of failure

6 Ways to help your child overcome the fear of failure 

1. Change your attitude about failing 

Be mindful of your own responses to mistakes and failure. Talk about what you've learned, and be willing to pick yourself up and try again.

Encourage and celebrate your child's mistakes as learning experiences. 

2. Emphasize effort, not ability 

Emphasize effort ( and the process ) over ability ( and the outcome). 

When they struggle, discuss specific strategies that might work next time. 

3. Demonstrate Unconditional love

Make it clear that you love your child unconditionally, even when they make mistakes or use poor judgement. 

4. Conduct the "Worst-Case  Scenario" Exercise 

Start by grabbing a piece of paper so you can brainstorm together with you child. 

Ask Them questions like. "If it all goes wrong, what's the worst thing that could happen?"

5. Help them Focus on the Solution 

Discuss what actions they took, the consequences of these actions, and how these consequences can be avoided in the future.

Ask question like: "What Went wrong?"

"How can you fix or prevent this next time?"

6. Have conversations about success and failure 

Talk about success using the "iceberg analogy."

Explain that when you see successful people, you only see the tip of the iceberg. You don't see what's under the water ,"failures, rejection, grit, effort, discipline, persistence, etc.
