The problem isn’t being wrong. The problem is people who won’t let you correct yourself, who are more concerned about what you said than what you’re saying. Ignore those people and understand this: no matter what they say it’s important for you to be wrong sometimes. If you aren’t, then you aren’t telling _yourself_ the truth

for my son.

The best teachers are your own mistakes.

    Personal growth comes from always being willing to learn, to change your mind and to admit when you are wrong.

About

Avatar I'm JJ. Female. If you hang out with me you'll get thoughts on atheism, secular parenting, ethics, feminism and politics (liberal, pro-choice) and occasionally excerpts from conversations with my 8-year-old son (there's a link below for most of the conversations and parenting posts). I don't accept anonymous asks, but if you request a private response, I will oblige. Also, because I get asked a lot, my url comes from the phrase "Teach children HOW to think, not WHAT to think." That's my parenting philosophy in a nutshell.
