The task of the caring teacher or parent is to identify areas in which a child is competent and to build on successful experiences to foster feelings of mastery and success.Structuring the environment to enhance self-confidence and to provide the opportunity to solve increasingly more complex problems will promote a sense of mastery.Asking peers for feedback reinforces the child's feelings of failure.When parents complete children's homework for them,it sends the message that they do not trust their child to do a good job.Providing assistance and suggestions and praising their best efforts are more appropriate.Decreasing expectations to eliminate failures will not promote a sense of achievement or mastery.
