“Learning from mistakes is crucial to development, and even more so for adolescents.”

Education Director Dr. Amy Eva persuades, “Real learning isn’t usually easy. Teaching methods
that center on errors may make learning more challenging but can also be more
motivating—potentially enhancing metacognition (the ability to think about your thinking) and
self-efficacy (a belief in your capability to accomplish a task).” The ability to learn from
mistakes is extremely beneficial.
Not just for the sake of challenging ourselves, but the process
of adapting and experiencing firsthand how we can improve.
Fear of Height
Some people fear heights so badly the escalators at the local shopping centre give them vertigo.
Vertigo is different to the phobia and is the sense of dizziness people can develop.
For others a cliff-top lookout or a tall building makes their head spin.
