In a previous post, we discussed how some children are incredibly afraid to fail and how it can make otherwise obedient children into the boldest of rebels. This week, we will be doing a few activities to remind our kids that failure and making mistakes is part of the normal learning process.
We would like to remind our parents that often, our best intentions of teaching our children Chinese can inadvertently make our children feel as if they never do anything correctly. Though eventually, we would like our children to form perfect characters or speak all the tones accurately, our insistence that it has to be 100% immediately is often the source of their anxiety.
With these activities, we hope to reinforce the idea of the impermanence of our “mistakes” as we “fail forward” towards success.
In fact, we will refer back to some of the activities we have done in the past because they’re very useful just for these purposes. The majority of our craft and play-based activities from our archives help your children learn how to fail and lose through low stakes games and activities.
Yes, this will produce super ugly Chinese characters. It will not help your children with stroke order. But it will relieve any burden on them to produce Chinese characters with the right dimensions or look. After all, the purpose is to make the characters as ugly as possible in order to get your children comfortable with writing and trying to write.
The hardest part? Resisting the urge to cry at the massacring of the beautiful Chinese written language.
BONUS: If you can work in why it’s okay to have characters look mis-shapen and how you are happy that your child is trying to recreate the character at all. It takes years of practice before children are physically developed with the appropriate fine motor skills to write beautifully.
We particularly recommend you revisit these writing focused activities in our archives because of the temporary nature of their materials. After all, what’s the worst that can happen if your child messes up? Just shake the salt in the tray or smash the playdough and they have a new blank slate to try again.
我們希望能看到你的孩子做這些遊戲的照片或影片，也希望能聽到你的意見或提問。更歡迎加入我們的【講媽 ⦁ 講爸】Facebook 群組，我們等你喔~

挫敗和失誤是學習過程很正常的一部分。
很多時，作為家長的我們一心想要孩子學得最好，往往不自覺地令孩子感到無論他們再怎樣努力，他們的中文都是千瘡百孔，錯誤百出。
當然，我們希望孩子最終能寫出一手好字、說出一口正腔的中文。但如果我們要求他們一開始就要做到100%完美，那我們就會成為他們的焦慮的源頭了。
