Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children. It's inevitable. There are so many de

cisions to be made in any given day, week, month, or year. It's an inhuman task to make all of these decisions correctly. Who would even want to try for perfection?
We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life. Life is full of mistakes, obstacles, and trouble. Shielding our children from these by striving for perfection in our own parenting does them no favors.

Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may. Admittedly, that attitude is not without its benefits, but it goes too far in the other direction. Children are much more observant than we think, but often draw the wrong conclusions from what they observe. If we give up trying to make the right decisions, they might get the message that we don't care about their future.

We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to do our best, to make the right decisions whenever possible. It just means that we shouldn't beat ourselves up when we make mistakes. Either it won't matter because it's something small, or it just might build some character in our children, a commodity that will serve them well.

Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

His hands started to sweat. Beads of salty water ran down his forehead, running away from the fear and nervous feeling. He peeked over the edge, noticing how far the ground was below. His heart stopped, taking in the fear of falling. He tightened his hands around the thin straps of the parachute. His heart stopped and started beating quickly at the same time. His mind was in a swirl. His thoughts trying to pull himself away from the edge of the airplane. He looked at the ground one more time. He closed his eyes, hoping that it would be over soon, as he jumped out the plane.

When Levy was<br> growing up, why<br> was she "indifferent to Jamaica"?
kari74 [83]

Answer: She was trying to fit in and be as British as possible

Explanation:

In the essay, ''Back to My Own Country'' by Andrea Levy, we are introduced to Andrea's family who had moved from Jamaica to Britain where she was born.

Her family did not want to appear out of place in Britain and so strove to fit in by acting and talking as British-like as they could. Andrea inherited this and tried as well to act British. This led to her being indifferent to her home country Jamaica so much so that she never bothered to tell her friends about it (not that they cared).
