What's your thought on that? Thanks.

Kids are not stupid, they know when a mistake is made, so I acknowledge the mistake, ask the student to help me work through it and we both learn from the mistake. I found that this approach helps kids to restore some trust in adults; that teachers/tutors can make mistakes and that it is OK. I hope this helps. Hi,
