Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents should allow children to make mistakes and let them learn from their own mistakes.
sample answer (399 words):
It is difficult for a parent to sit back and allow their child to make a mistake. Most parents go out of their way to protect their children from everything from bumps and bruises to emotional upset. However, at some point part of being a good parent is letting go and watching them move through unfamiliar territory and make mistakes. No matter how much we want to help our kids, they need to have the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them.


In addition, perhaps the best way to free children’s creativity is to ask them to stop being afraid of making mistakes. “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” The great inventor Albert Einstein said. Indeed, what mistakes do is offer us the opportunity to explore beyond where we thought we were going – they introduce that rare element of ‘chance’ into our work. So if a son comes to his dad with an apparently unpractical “science project”, just let him do it and allow him to make a mess, instead of warning him against the risk of making mistakes, because there is a chance that a series of mistakes or failures may eventually lead to a bright and creative young scientist.
In conclusion, if we want our children to develop a sense of responsibility, make good choices and become more daring and creative, we have to let go and allow them to make mistakes. After all, parents cannot protect their kids forever; eventually children need to learn to live their own lives.
