I have read in an article by Alberto Salcedo Ramos that it is full of atmosphere and brilliant writing, that childhood is the stage at which children begin to learn from their mistakes, to know what are the mechanisms that they have to develop to amend them and what they decide to dedicate themselves to commit the least possible errors as they grow and evolve. And it seemed to me that at one time, like the current one in Spain, we need children to start making mistakes again and parents to stop protecting them.
Alberto's prose is of great quality and he writes, for example:
In childhood, one begins to forge the method by which he raises the innocent or guilty mistakes he makes.
And is that children need to make mistakes to learn and improve. For example, children who seek perfection are difficult to accept as something natural to make mistakes and above all, they show a constant concern to be accepted by others.
And no, I do not believe that the attitude of the parents, I think that excessively protective, is good for them. It is convenient to let nature take its course although, yes, developing in the small capacities and abilities that allow them to adapt and correct their mistakes.
Although in this essay by Alberto Salcedo, he says that fighting the error may be insufficient:
Sometimes the effort is insufficient to amend the error
And so, it seems to me, it's how maturation in behavior is achieved as you grow and get older. And sometimes you want to correct the error and you get it, other times you try it although you can't do it and on many occasions you decide that it is best to let yourself go and wait to see where it ends.
