▶ Your Answer : There is a famous Korean saying “The best way to learn is to experience.” This is a common saying that I have heard throughout my life from my grandfather. He wanted me to know that directly experiencing would be more beneficial for me to learn some lessons. Therefore I believe that parents should let children make mistake and let them learn from their own mistake for the following reasons: stress and time-efficiency.To begin with, learning by their own mistake is less stressful for children. If children realize their own mistake and learn from their experience, they would not be stressed but if parents keep trying to teach children and punish them, it would be a huge stress for them. For example, when I was young, my parents tried to let me learn from my mistake. Therefore I was able to do what I wanted to, and after I did some mistake I was able to recognize it and regret about it. That progress was not that stressful for me. However my friend Tom’s parent always tried to teach Tom and there was too many restrict for him. Tom was so stressed about their parents keep interfering him. Through that experience I thought that I was very lucky to have a better education which was less stressful for me. Therefore not to make their children stressed, parents should let children make mistake and let them learn from their own mistake. Furthermore, the lessons that children learned from their mistake last longer. If we learn by the experience, that lesson would last longer than learning from other people so it is more time-efficient way. For example, when I was five years old, I jumped into the water pool without checking the depth of the pool. The pool was deeper than my length and I was in a dangerous situation. After that experience, I never go into the water before checking the depth of it since I became an adult. However, I forgot most of the lesson I learned from the book and school, for example, what I have to be careful before I go into the water. In my personal experience, learning from my on mistake usually last longer than learning from others. Therefore it is more time-efficient for children to let themselves learn from their own mistake. In conclusion, parents should let their children make mistake and learn lesson from their own mistake. Some says, it is dangerous to let children make a mistake, however, children would not recognize how dangerous it is before they actually experience it. |
