What Kids Who Learn From Failure Do

I was at a loss for words during a presentation, lost many times in a game, and the program didn't work as I expected. If you fail, you may feel heavy in your chest. However, those who continue to move forward even after failure do not consider failure to be the "end."

Children who keep moving after failure treat it as information. Instead of saying "I'm no good," they ask what went wrong and what to change next.

name failure

For example, if you make a mistake while typing, it's because you put your fingers in the wrong place. If you forget your homework, it's because you made a mistake in your preparation time. If you say something too strongly to your friend, you made a mistake. Once you name it, you can see what to change next.

change only once next time

Trying to fix everything after a mistake is difficult. So I'll just change it the next time. If you are giving a presentation, practice only the first sentence. In programming, just review one line. If you have forgotten something, leave a note at the door. Even small changes can change the next result.

What you can do today
Remember one recent mistake you made, name it, and write down one thing you would change next time.

At Digital Kodomo BASE, we value the habit of learning from mistakes. Turning failure into a hint is a skill that helps with computers, study, and everyday life.
