Can we save our children from struggle? Should we? Of course not, though many of today's parents try to remove all such obstacles so their children will always succeed. (You've heard of those helicopter parents coming to job interviews with their college graduate sons or daughters. Yikes!) Some teachers show their students what was wrong before they even knew they had made a mistake.
This article tells the author's own story which is rather humorous. Hope you enjoy it and learn to let the kids struggle a bit.
