I stumbled on Kevin Rose’s podcast and decided to watch this one first. I was excited to find this because I watched his first interviews about 12 years ago with tech entrepreneurs and got a lot out of them. I think he called the show The Foundation back then.
One piece they talk about is encouraging failure and learning from failure for kids which I believe is important too. I’ve been enjoying watching my oldest who is 3 during soccer on Saturday mornings. He’s young so he’s failing a lot whether he picks up the soccer ball instead of kicking it or doesn’t understand the drill. Rather than correct him, I just watch him. He’s having fun anyway so that’s another reason I sit back. He doesn’t need my help.
I was thinking the other day at some point that his consciousness will develop and we’ll see how he reacts to knowing about these small failures.
