How Children Fail

Why read it

• You will notice when a child only seems to understand, and stop mistaking that for real learning
• You will ask of any rule you set whether it gets you the result it was made for
• You will see how worry about mistakes makes children do worse work, not better

Who it is for

• A parent whose child hides mistakes or avoids trying
• A teacher whose strict rules seem to produce worse work
• A manager whose team plays safe instead of learning
