But they always pull through if, like you say, we trust the process :) I like seeing their newfound confidence, too, once they've figured it all out. They know they worked hard and their hard work paid off.

It's so nice when you can find that perfect balance between being challenging but still being do-able (as opposed to too easy or impossibly difficult).

It is something that when I can stop worrying about the outcome of the learning and trust the process (literally and figuratively), the kids learn so much more. They don't only learn the content, they also learn what it means to persevere, fail and try again. They learn that being successful requires hard work and time (practice). This is a lesson for life. Thanks for sharing.
