A
wonderful classic book is Jonathan
Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.
Here are a few thoughts from that book.
-Jonathan was no ordinary
bird. He tried and tried again.
-He made
mistakes along the way, but he learned from his mistakes.
-He crashed
and burned more than once, but he got back up in the air and flew again,
farther and faster than before.
The
book talks about having a can-do attitude.
That
is a worthwhile character trait to help your child cultivate. Keep before them the ever-present idea that
they can, with continual effort, accomplish great things.
I’ve
heard my husband Michael tell the story numerous times of dropping his drum
sticks on two different occasions during critical performances.
You
make a mistake, get back up, brush yourself off and keep going.
Remember
Jonathan. He tried and tried again.
A
worthy principle for all of us.
