Read the following article that discusses the importance of failure:
http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/sep/05/parenting-tomorrow-why-should-let-children-fail
After you have finished reading, answer the following questions:
1. Why does Jessica Lahey have any authority to speak to the importance of letting children fail?
2. What does Lahey claim is the most important lesson of childhood?
3. What is an idyll?
4. Explain "enmeshment" in your own words.
5. What was the first task that Lahey taught her nine-year-old son to accomplish on his own instead of doing it for him?
6. Complete Lahey's sentence: " The sooner parents learn to appreciate the positive aspects of hardship and allow children to benefit from the upside of failure..."
7. How important do you believe that failure is? As a student, would you rather your parent allow you to fail an assignment that you don't know how to do or would you rather them help you so that you get a better grade and risk you not learning from that assignment for yourself?

ReplyDelete1. Because she is a teacher at a secondary school and has seen it happen over the course of her teaching years.
2. That setbacks, mistakes and failures are the very experiences that will teach them how to be resourceful, persistent, innovative and resilient.
3. An idyll is an extremely happy, peaceful, or picturesque scene.
4. Enmeshment is when a relationship between two individuals has unclear boundaries.
5. She taught him how to tie his shoes.
6. The sooner parents learn to appreciate the positive aspects of hardship and allow children to benefit from the upside of failure, the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces.
7. Failure is not important, Because failure should never be an option. I would rather my parent help me so I can obtain a better grade, and then learn from my mistakes.
Jon Oue
ReplyDelete1. Jessica has the authority because she is a parent.
2. Jessica says that the most important lesson is how setbacks and failures are the lessons that will teach them how to be resourceful, persistent, innovative, and resilient.
3. Idyll is an extremely happy episode or scene.
4. Enmeshment means to be tangled up in something.
5. The first task Jessica taught her son was to tie his own shoes.
6. The sooner parents learn to appreciate the positive aspects of hardship and allow children to benefit from the upside of failure, the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in moments of pride.
7. I believe that failure is good. It teaches us what we are doing wrong. If we just depend on our parents then when we get to college we are going to not know what to do when we fail. I think suicide would go up to because the children would do everything right then on day figure out that they are not perfect. When Thomas Edison was asked what he learned from failing too much he said,” I didn’t fail I learned one million ways how not to create a light bulb.” We should be allowed to fail so we can have that type of attitude.

ReplyDelete1. Jessica Lahey has this authority because she is a mom to two boys and she is a secondary school teacher, so she has experience in teaching children and how they grow and develop.
2. Lahey's most important lesson off childhood is that "setbacks, mistakes and failures are the very experiences that will teach them how to be resourceful, persistent, innovative and resilient."
3. Idyll is a state of being free, happy, and peaceful.
4. Enmeshment is a state where parents feel like they failed to prepare their children for the real world and so they let them come home and the parents take care of them again like they are young children.
5. Lahey taught her son to tie his shoes.
6. "The sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces."
7. I believe that parents/teachers should let students fail at times. The adult should not do all of the work, but they should help the student understand the assignment so that they can learn from it.
Abbey Ray,
ReplyDelete1. Jessica Lahey is a teacher and can see that her students are scared of failing even though their comment could change the course of the class’s discussion, this causes the teachers not to be able to teach.
2. The most important lesson in Lahey’s words for kids is “that setbacks, mistakes and failures are the very experiences that will teach them how to be resourceful, persistent, innovative and resilient” (p. 3).
3. An idyll is a happy and peaceful scene that is typically idealized or unsustainable.
4. Enmeshment means that when kids cannot adapt to the real world their parents feel like they have failed. The parents then give in to letting the kid not be independent.
5. Lahey taught her son how to tie his shoes on his own.
6. “… the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces.”
7. I think that failure is fairly important for a child/teen so that we can learn from our mistakes and so we aren’t scared. I think that parents should always let their child try and do their work on their own and then the parents can check the work and help you fix what is wrong.

Amy Ingle
ReplyDelete1.) She is a mother and teacher and has seen what happens to sheltered kids who are protected from failure by their parents.
2.) She claims that the lessons you learn from failure, setbacks, and obstacles are what teach kids life lessons. If kids don't fail they can learn from their mistakes and they can't learn to cope with failure either.
3.) An idyll is an extremely happy situation that sometimes is more of a mindset than a reality.
4.) Is a psychiatric term used to describe kids who move back in with their parents after college.
5.) She taught him to tie his shoes on his own.
6.) "...the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces."
7.) I believe that failure is a crucial part of a child learning. As a student I would rather my parents not help me because I would be forced to learn it myself. I would be okay with my parents helping me understand it but not with them doing the whole thing for me. I think if a student is willing to sit down with their parent and learn it together that is different than the parent doing the project without the student. My parents rarely ever help me with school work because it turns into a fight and my independent self would rather do it alone but I do remember that one time I didn't understand a math project so my mom taught me how to do the math problems and made sure I understood them then I did the project. Even though she explained it to me I still did the project myself and learned how to do the math and when I walked into math the next day I had a full understanding. However, if a students mom does the project they are setting them up for failure in the future whether it be short term, long term, or both. Sometimes when people stand up and do a project you can tell their parents did it because they are clueless and it could affect them long term because then they will be dependent adults and not learn anything from that project.
1.She is a school teacher and being a person who is with and experiances children for multiple hours
ReplyDelete2.To take risks and try new things
3. Extremely, happy, peaceful, or picturesque episode or scene
4. Being close and rooted to a love or care shared by a group of people
5. Tieing his shoes
6.Then children will begin to build their own personalities and have a strong character to go off on, if or when they succeed or even if they don't
7. I think that failure is very important. Without failure we wont be able to learn from it and become stronger. I would fail so I can become stronger from it an do better at it.
Elle Turner

2.that setbacks, mistakes and failures are the very experiences that will teach them how to be resourceful, persistent, innovative and resilient.
3. a nonexistent, ideal, setting that is easy and peaceful.
4. enmeshment is when parents don't teach their children and let them have enough responsibility so when they get thrust into the real world, they have to go back to relying on their parents.
5. She taught him to tie his shoes
6.the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces.
7. I think that failure is crucial to learning how to be a responsible person. I would rather have my parent allow me to fail in most cases. Only if the teacher hadn't done their job and taught the student how to do their assignment, then i would want my parent to help, but if I had just been not paying attention during class, then it would be my own fault that i not know how to do the assignment and get a bad grade.
Kelsi Hobson
ReplyDelete1. It is something she has experienced in her life and has seen the outcome of being an overprotective parent.
2. Letting children make their own mistakes and learning from them.
3. It is an extremlely happy, peaceful, or picturesque episode or scene, typically an idealized or unsustainable one.

5. She taught him how to tie his shoes.
6. "...the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces."
7. I believe failure is important because when you fail you are able to learn from your mistakes. I would rather my parent allow me to do the assignment on my own, but also having someone there not to give me the answers, but maybe having them there to talk me through the assingment.
Molly McCafferty
ReplyDelete1. Lahey is also guilty of the actions she is stressing to others. She is a teacher and sees the importance of not doing everything for the children so they learn on their own.
2. Lahey says what children teach themselves from their mistakes are important, not to be helpless, or have everything handed to you.
3. An ideal scene.
4. Exhaustion of the parent for doing everything for the child, and the child expecting the parent to do everything for them.
5. Learning to tie his own shoelaces.
6. ... the sooner all of us have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw in my son's face when he tied those laces."
7. I think that failure is a very important part of a young person and an adult's life, if we never learn anything for ourselves we will always be kind of dependent on another person. If I don't know how to do an assignment that is my fault because I obviously didn't pay attention in class. If I did pay attention and still didn't understand I should have asked the teacher.
Hallie Grace Hamner
ReplyDelete1. Because she is a parent and a teacher, and she has been for a long time.
2. That setbacks, mistakes and failures are the very experiences that will teach them how to be resourceful, persistent, innovative and resilient.
3. An idyll can be many things, but the one that best fits this context is that an idyll is a picturesque or peaceful scene, that is sometimes idealized.
4. Enmeshment is when parents do everything for their child and when the time comes for the child to go into the “real world” they are unprepared for what awaits them.
5. Tying his shoelaces.
6. “…the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces.”
7. I do believe that some aspects of failure are important for a child to experience, but it mainly depends on a situation. For someone who is more well-off, their child failing something- such as not getting a scholarship to a certain college- doesn’t mean much, because they can just pay for college themselves. However, for other families, this isn’t an option. If you don’t get a full ride to college, you’re not going! This makes the children of poorer people who want to build a better life for themselves develop a fear of failure. Although I do believe that there are many good things failure can teach you, there are also conditions that prevent having the room to fail.
Rachel Walker
ReplyDelete1. She has authority because she was parenting two boys and teaching hundreds of children so she has seen many problems that are all connecting to failure.
2. Giving children experience, teaching them to take care of their responsibilities and teaching them that taking risks is okay.
3. An idyll is a charming or picturesque scene or event.
4. In my own words, enmeshment means that a person is not able to express as an individual with their differences because of set boundaries by someone.
5. Tying his shoe on his own.
6. The sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride.
7. I believe failure is important because the outcome of failure can result into learning. I would rather my parent allow me to fail something I didn't know because if you fail at something, it only means that you can learn from it and see what you did wrong. Instead of lying about what you're learning and being afraid of failure, I could learn something if I fail rather than acting like I know what I am doing, which will never help me in the future.
Jesslyin Edwards
ReplyDelete1. She teaches and has her own children,so that way she can show her opinion on the subject. She probably wouldn't if she didn't have any children or didn't teach, but she does so she does have a fair role in this discussion.
2. That setbacks, mistakes, and failures are the very experiences that will teach them how to be resourceful, persistent, innovative and resilient.
3. A happy experience or scene.
4. Relationship between 2 or more people in which the actual relationship personal boundaries are unclear.
5. Learning how to tie his shoes.
6."...the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces."
7. Failure is a very important thing in life in which it defines who you are as a person in your life. I would rather let my parent let me fail on the assignment that I don't know know how to do, because at least I would learn from my mistakes. Honestly I would let my parent let me do the assignment then if I'm stuck on one they can help me, but not let them give me an answer to the problem. I want them to let me try before they actually help me out, because that way you can finish the assignment and get a good grade on it without me not learning anything from it.
1. She has authority because she has 2 sons and has taught hundreds of children.
ReplyDelete2. setbacks, mistakes and failures
3. A Happy Exciting time
4. When parents are unhappy and kind of influence their children to move back to their home.
5. Tie his shoes.

7. I would rather be allowed to fail an assignment and not be yelled at and grounded.
ReplyDeleteNia Hodges
1.She was both a mother and teacher, so she spent plenty of time with children who have been babied all of their lives and she sees the importance and outcome of children who are able to fail and learn from their mistakes.
2.Lahey claims that the most important lesson in our childhood is that we need to fail in order to be able to fix our mistakes and learn from them.
3.An idyll is an extremely happy or peaceful event or scene.
4.Enmeshment is when you don’t allow someone to do things for themselves so that they can learn from their mistakes and grow.
5.Lahey taught her son how to tie his shoes.
6.“...the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces.”
7.I think failure is very important, because it helps you learn from your mistakes. I’d rather fail on my own rather than get a good grade on something I didn’t do and didn’t learn from, because as long as I tried my best I’ve learned something and that failure can push me to try harder the next time. If someone is giving me answers and constantly helping me, then I’m going to always rely on them and I won’t grow as an individual.The day they aren’t there to help me, I’m more than likely going to give up before I even try and that’s when I truly fail.

6."...the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments in pride such as the one as i saw on my sons face as he tied those laces".
7. You have to fail in life to get something out of it. If your parents baby you till your 18, then you will not be experienced enough to out in the real world. You parents need to let you make mistakes so you can get the lesson out of it, so if and when it comes up again you know how to handle it.

7. Failure is extremely important to become a self sufficient adult. I would rather fail an assignment on my own that make a good grade and not learn anything. If you do not understand the assignment and need advice from a parent that is okay, but letting them do the work for you is not.
Jessica Elwood
ReplyDelete1. yes, because she is a school teacher and has two boys.

5. Tying his shoes.
6. the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces.
7. I think that pushing your children to do their best will benefit them more in life. There's a difference between pushing them to do well than doing the project for them. Like test they take them on their own, the parent is not physically there to help. In my opinion I think that children benefit from being pushed and knowing that the better you do in school will show how you will do in life. Also that failure is something everyone goes through just don't teach your children it's something they can do just all the time.

1. Jessica Lahey has the authority to speak on the importance of letting children fail because she is speaking upon personal experience.
2. Jessica Lahey claims that the most important lesson of childhood is that you have to make mistakes in order to learn.
3. An idyll is a scene of joy or experience.
4. Enmeshment is a state of symbiosis that leaves parents feeling incomplete or resentful.

ReplyDelete1. She is a parent of two and a secondary school teacher, so she knows how young students succeed and fail.
2. She claims that setbacks, mistakes, and failures will teach them to be responsible, resourceful, and innovative.
3. A perfectly happy, and ideal situation.

5. To tie his shoe.
6. ", the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces."
7. Failure is very important! The best teacher is failure because no one likes to fail, so if you fail at something one time, you will learn from it and usually never fail at that again. Because of this reason I would rather my parent let me fail so I could learn from my mistake, because even if you make a good grade, if you don't learn the material you'll fail on the ACT or SAT because your parent can't help you then.
1. Jessica Lahey is the mother of two boys and has been a secondary schoolteacher for a decade, which gives her a lot of experience with kids and their learning behaviors.
ReplyDelete2. “That setbacks, mistakes, and failures are the very experiences that will teach them how to be resourceful, persistent, innovative, and resilient.”
3. An idyll is a happy, joyful or even perfect experience that can sometimes be real and sometimes be imaginary.
4. Enmeshment is when a person’s personal boundaries are overstepped by another person who is too over-concerned for their being and that leads to an underdeveloped lifestyle.
5. The first task Lahey taught her 9-year-old to do by himself was to tie his shoes.
6. “…the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces.”
7. I think that failure is an important part of life that helps you grow and learn from the mistakes that you made. No matter what we do, we will all fail at something because no one is perfect. However, a parent should not ignore their child when they need help, as long as they don’t complete the entire assignment alone and they teach them what they’re doing as they’re doing it. Although failure is a part of life, you must do what you can to avoid it; failure is only acceptable when you did the best that you could.
LAUREN BECK
ReplyDelete1) She has authority to speak about letting children fail because she is a teacher and a mom.
3) It is an extremely happy scene that is usually unstable.
4) Enmeshment is a relationship between people where the boundaries are not pointed out/ unclear.
5) She taught him how to tie his shoes for himself.
6) "the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces."
7) I think that failure is a life lesson. You cannot learn anything unless you fail at least a few times. If you make a mistake, you can choose to learn from that mistake. Failure is needed to succeed. I feel both ways about this. On one hand, I would want my parents to help me because I put a lot of pressure on my self, and give myself a hard time when I fail. But on the other hand, if my parents "babied" me and always helped me, I would never learn from my mistakes and that would leave me unprepared for the real world.

5. To tie his shoes.
6. ...the smarter the kid and the quicker they'll be able to learn from their mistakes.
7. I think it's very important if you want to be better at something. Most people in this world know what they should do, and most people know what the right answer is, you learning instead of your parents doing it. You're basically cheating on your homework if your parents do it for you, but I would rather me fail without somebody helping me because I want to get better at the assignment by not taking the easy way out. You won't do good in college if your parents do it for you.

7.I think I would be neutral in this argument, because I understand that you shouldn't coddle your children or do everything for them, that helps them none in their education or street smarts. But I also think its a little harsh to say you should just allow them to fail. You should never do your child's assignment, but it never hurts to remind them consistently or give them a little push when they get stuck. So, I'd want my mom and/or dad to remind me to do the assignment, or make sure I have the gist of it, but of course I wouldn't make or let them do it.

7 I think that there are aspects of this that could be good and bad. Why let a child fail a test and still not know what they are doing? You should help the student cover the topic and then if they fail after you have shown them then they werent paying attention. If you work hard then you should be able to learn it in the first place as with lots of things but if you dont ever get help you risk not ever learning it and just being stuck.

7. I think that if we never fail we can't learn as well. I would rather my parents allow me to fail because if I didn't I would never know how to do it in the future when my parents aren't there to fix my mistakes.

7.Failure is important to me because I really believe we learn from failures and mistakes it helps you know what you did wrong and how you did it so you won't do it again. I would rather fail so I could learn from my own mistakes.

Jessica Lahey, has the authority to speak about letting children fail because she is a mother of two and a school teacher, so she understands and has seen what happens to children whose parents don't let them fail. She claims that not being afraid to fail is the biggest lesson in childhood that should be taught to all kids. She goes on to talk about her kids idylls, or their precious moments of their life, and how she feels more successful about letting her child fail and learn himself then being hand fed everything. Enmeshment is a feeling between two people, like a mother and son, who know each other so well that they know how each other feel without looking or being told how they felt. Jessica's first enmeshment with her second son was when she taught him how to tie his shoes for the first time, and she did not help him either. "The sooner parents learn to appreciate the positive aspects of hardship and allow children to benefit from the upside of failure, the sooner all of us will have the opportunity to share in the moments of pride such as the one I saw on my son’s face as he tied those laces," is what the proud mother said after seeing her son's proud face. The matter of the fact is, I do not have preference. I would love to be helped or hinted upon with an assignment that I do not know what I am doing, but I would also want to learn the assignment myself.
