Don’t spin mistakes into victories
If your kid makes a mistake, it’s okay to say it was a mistake. He didn’t nail it this time. If, for example, he botches his assignment in his public speaking class, don’t tell him that in some places, what he did is actually considered a sign of genius, or something like that. Don’t spin it into him actually being right, when he was wrong. It’s okay for him to just be wrong sometimes.
