What motherhood has taught me about management

Reward the Batting Whiffs and Belly Flops

No one likes to fail. For toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly, failure can be a difficult and sometimes debilitating fact of life. However, failure brings about many defining moments and important lessons that success never would. Children (and adults) can't always see this and often get extremely discouraged if they don't succeed the first time out. However, that doesn't mean that parents should shield their children from all disappointments, failures or stressful situations.
