Help Your Teen Learn From Mistakes

Everybody makes mistakes. It took Thomas Edison hundreds of tries before he found the right material to make his light bulb. But each failure taught him what wouldn't work, and brought him closer to understanding what would.

Help your student see mistakes as opportunities to learn. When your teen makes a mistake, encourage brainstorming to figure out why it happened. Ask what your teen would do differently the next time. Experience can be a good teacher, but sometimes you have to make sure your teen is paying attention to the lesson.
