Human: How do I get my children to learn from their mistakes?

Assistant: Many children are naturally curious about the world, and like to find things out.  Also, children will often imitate their parents and the rest of the household.  So a helpful parent strategy is to make it clear that they are welcome to explore the world and learn from their mistakes, without having to fear consequences.  Just talking openly and honestly about what you’ve learned from your mistakes can be very helpful to a child who’s struggling with something.
