Is failure harmful? How does one suggest a positive coping?

It is important that children learn how to cope with failure. If they don't manage the first time they can try again. It is important for parents to know what they can do to help their children cope with disappointing results. Not every parent is confident to help with schoolwork, but all parents can teach their children how to listen, take responsibility and improve their work. Children will learn that through their own efforts they can get the results they want. Children will learn that failure can be a springboard to future achievement. Your children need to know they will feel delighted with the results of some tests but that other tests will leave them feeling devastated. It is important they know that tests are about what they know and not the sort of person they are. It is important they know how to cope whether tests make them feel delighted or devastated.
