I Want My Kids To Fail! - Paul D. Lowe & Rubria Mendoza
On this episode Paul is joined by Rubria Mendoza to talk about why it is that children should fail. This might sound a bit disturbing, but Rubria explains her thought process and why she thinks it’s important for parents to think this way.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I was trying to make everybody happy but I wanted for my kids, I’m happy for them to be anything as long as they’re happy.
- We want to allow our kids to fail and allow ourselves to be there to support them through that. It’s hard, but through allow our kids to make mistakes we’re providing them with tools and support that will result in them becoming problem solvers and being better at handling difficult situations in their lives.
- My mom was an elementary teacher and was really tough on my brothers and me, she wanted us to study hard. But I found it hard to deal with failure later in life.
- If kids are punished for breaking something, they’ll have learned fear. ‘What if I do something wrong?’ And that will be with you all your life. Not making a big deal about it and asking what happened will change their perspectives.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Moms have to face pressures every day and we can be too hard on ourselves trying to be a good mom.’
‘We don’t want them to get perfect grades at school.’
‘We learn from our experiences otherwise we keep going round and round until we do, or unless we’re happy.’
‘You haven’t failed, you’ve learned more.’

ABOUT THE GUEST
Rubria is based in St. Louis, MO, where she lives with her family. She has over 20 years of experience in a variety of areas such as accounting, organizing events and expos, and process management. The variety of industries she has been involved, has given her the opportunity to learn that one of the most valuable resource we all have is each other.
She believes in the power of teamwork and that in order to accomplish that, people have to form partnerships with the ones we interact in our day-to-day activities. To build strong circles, that then become strong communities. She likes to put that idea into action whenever she has the opportunity to contribute helping friends, family, co-workers to expand their potential, and achieve the common and personal goals.
