Failure Is The End
Failures are opportunities for growth. Children need to see that making mistakes is not the end. We learn from our mistakes and get better.
You Must Be Perfect
Kids are under too much pressure to achieve perfection. Teaching them that making errors is OK is preferable.
Boys and Girls Have Strict Roles
Childhood potential is hampered by stereotypes about what males and girls should and shouldn't do.
Some Races Are Better Than Others
Racial prejudice education causes division and encourages discrimination. Rather, children must be taught that diversity should be cherished and that all races are equal.
Never Question Authority Figures
Children should have the confidence to speak up when they notice anything that is unfair or incorrect.
Material Possessions Define Success
Success should not be equated with possessing a lot of material goods, such as money and designer clothing.
Avoiding Emotions
Children should be encouraged to communicate their emotions in a healthy way. This promotes self-awareness and healthy relationships.
One-Size-Fits-All Education
Not every student should receive the same education. Children differ in their learning interests and skills.
Limited Career Choices
Children shouldn't be restricted in the type of caregivers they can select because of societal expectations.
