JUST finished reading this article. Really amazing information. I have never seen anything written about the character of our children before. Not in this manner. Agree that we are way to afraid to let our kids fail. Makes me feel better about the fact that I DO tell my DS3 (almost 4) "You have to keep trying if you want that to work. Everything is not easy." I feel a bit mean doing that to him but like the article said; as an adult how many situations do you encounter each day where we have to try so very hard and still, we don't succeed more than half the time.

Highly recommended read!
