Steve had the same experience and now, 50 years later, it still haunts him. I was so very fortunate that my parents had the mantra of "just do your best" and let us learn from the school of hard knocks along the way. You are seving your sons very well by letting them fall down and get up again; it prepares them for real life and not some bubble of artificial praise. I like the saying that if you never try you'll never fail, but then you'll also never accomplish anything. Thanks for being a great Mom :-) I’m sorry you grew up feeling that you had to do well or be treated as a failure. Steve had the same experience and now, 50 years later, it still haunts him.
