A6 Little by little Ss add to the "wall of mistakes" w/how they learned from it. Visit the wall often and celebrate growth. #power #G2Great

  A6 Create a wall of "great mistakes" in your room. T starts by posting great inventor, scientist, hero mistakes. Add your own 1/2 #G2Great

A7 I’ll stop constantly criticizing myself & use a positive lens to see my potential vs. my flaws. I have to sharpen MY lens #G2Great

johnnydowney Jun 15 @ 9:23 PM EDT

I promise to continue to learn from my mistakes and invoke a sense of learning from failure in Ss and Ts that I work with. #g2great

A7. I will make more of an effort to share mistakes with my children so that don't feel as if they have to be flawless. #G2Great
