A:The traditional wisdom is that the big problem for low-income kids is that they don’t get enough cognitive stimulation(认知激励) early on.In fact,what seems to have more of an effect is the chaotic environments that many low-income kids grow up in. Q:How does failure help us succeed?
A:I don’t think it’s quite true that failure itself helps us succeed.In fact,repeated failures can be quite devastating to a child’s development.What I think is important on the road to success is learning to deal with failure,to manage unfavourable conditions.That’s a skill that parents can certainly help their children develop.
