Learning by doing, learning from mistakes

[dajie]

Baking is something new for Nick. He tries out new recipes and experiments a little with those he's already tried out. He does so with much enthusiasm and that is why I couldn't bear it if it didn't turn out right. I want him to feel successful and confident that the dough he's waiting for to rise will turn out beautifully in the oven. Why am I

I stay out of the kitchen too.. it's so hard to hold the comments. :)
Don't worry, you're well on the way to being a great mum! :D

hmm i should like to find a mum who mothers in the way i would like to mother, ie letting the child wander and fall and whatever and not making a fuss when he falls and scrapes something, because i've noticed the child learns to make a huge fuss when the adults make an example of that. a mother who doesn't say you must do this or that or this or that is wrong, you'll regret it, etc. of course somehow keeping the child safe in the process as well.

and then i should like to sign up as an observer.
