Although encouraging children to be successful is good for them, letting them face their failure is also an important lesson for them.

Yu-Ling Hsieh from Taiwan

Failure and success are both important to build character. Children can't learn how to face failure if they never fail. No one is always successful. Everyone will meet failure throughout his or her whole life.

Although encouraging children to be successful is good for them, letting them face their failure is also an important lesson for them.

Our children will face a more complex world than we do. We can't be by their side forever. We hope they can handle everything.

That's why we should teach them to face everything, both good and bad, and to learn from everything, both failure and success.
