There are many pitfalls in raising a child.
For example, many parents have to deal with such a problem as fear of failure in a child, when he is so afraid of losing that he prefers to do nothing at all.
This behavior eventually develops into a habit and over the years begins to bring more and more problems. What to do? Of course, get rid of fear.
Contact a person who is an authority figure for the child.
Seek help from someone the teenager respects.
If for a 10-12 year old schoolchild your authority still remains unquestionable, then a teenager aged 13-16 is more influenced by the opinions of older brothers and sisters, friends, counselors and mentors.
Often, it is the teachers who constantly interact with teenagers who become friends and role models.
Support, sincere praise and interest from such a person will help the teenager increase self-esteem and cope with the fear of failure.

Provide support to your child
Whatever you do, your attention remains an irreplaceable thing for a child of any age.
Even if you are very busy with work and daily activities, find time in your day to communicate with your son or daughter. Show genuine interest in his or her successes and listen to everything he or she tells you with genuine attention.
Tell us about the benefits of failure
An analysis of human history shows that those who become successful are not those who make the fewest mistakes, but those who are not afraid to make mistakes and learn from their failures.
