Reading and writing shape every part of our lives, from sending texts to understanding road signs to sharing stories.

It’s a rare thing to be perfect at anything the first time; so, as parents and guardians, we constantly try to introduce our children to the old saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”

In this article, we explore some practical ways adults can nurture a resilient “try again” mindset in children.
