2 月26日Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents should allow their children to make mistakes and let them learn from their own mistakes.
No man is perfect, thus everyone makes more or less mistakes, especially for children. We all made mistakes in childhood, and it was from those mistakes that we gradually gained the knowledge of the protocol in everyday life, the courage of overcoming difficulties, the wisdom to handle delicate affairs and so on, and we really grew up through various mistakes. However, as parents, is it right to allow kids to make mistakes to learn things from it? From where I stand, the answer is negative- mistake is beneficial, though, it never can be allowed under any circumstance.
I still clearly remember my father's word, he always repeats it that you had better to learn things from second hand, which means you would be wise to observe others experience critically and get something from it, instead of mistakes by yourself. I still remember once I cut my finger while opening a tin of beef, my father criticized me angrily. He was so angry that almost beat me with a belt, for he had repeated to be careful all the time before I opened it. He was very rigorous when I was a child, and he thought it was his duty to be that rigorous. I was never allowed to make mistakes, even as small as putting personal stuff in an untidy way. Now as an adult, I somewhat understand his philosophy. We are to do things wrong sometimes but it's not our excuse to make mistakes, which may well become a bad habit and you will never improve.
What's more, without a rigorous father and the special philosophy, it is better to not be allowed to make mistakes. We all have been kids years ago and we may recall some of our emotions at that age. We were fearless and adventurous and unwilling to do things in the so-called right ways. We were over encouraged by plenty of cartoon heroes, who did dangerous things all the time but always survived miraculously and were admired by all the characters in the end, and we were too rash to take care of ourselves. So parents should do their best to teach their kids to get rid of mistakes rather than encourage them to learn from mistakes. Which is better, let your kids be choked by a peanut then make them know not to imitate the cartoon character to eat in that way or warn them directly and use some kind of punishment immediately they eat in a dangerous way?
Mistakes are mistakes, we had better avoid encountering them at the least cost. If we can learn from others’ fault, why should we repeat it on our own? Anyway, making mistakes can never be allowed. |
