How to Help Children Face Their Fear of Failure | Akinori Shigemi | TEDxStart Rite Schools Abuja
This presentation offers thoughtful guidance on how to support children in overcoming their fear of failure. Using the example of the Super Mario game, the speaker explains that, just like in the game, failure is often expected and even necessary for progress. Each time a player falls, they rise, learn from their mistakes, and improve. The talk encourages parents, teachers, and caregivers to view failure not as a setback, but as a predictable and valuable part of the learning journey. By creating environments where children feel safe to try, stumble, and grow, we help them build resilience, confidence, and a mindset that embraces challenge as a path to success.Akinori Shigemi, CEO of Robot Programming school named "Robo Done" and Ambassador for Entrepreneurship Promotion appointed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
