"The universe cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word.“
~Galileo Galilei~ Italian astronomer, mathematician, and physicist.

4. Celebrate Mistakes!
Encourage your child to take chances when devising plans to solve problems.
Remind them that a mistake is just another opportunity to learn and grow.
Remember, in life, your best teacher is your last mistake.
Mistakes are proof that you are trying.
Making a mistake is better than faking perfection.
