However, with kids（especially at an early age），when they fall down, they don't perceive their falling down as failure, but instead, they treat it as a learning experience（as just another result/outcome）. They feel compelled to try and try again until theysucceed.（The answer must be……they have not associated“falling down”with the word“failure”yet, thus they don't know how to feel the state accompanies failure. As a result, they are not disempowered in anyway. Plus, they probably think to themselves that it's perfectly okay to fall down, that it's not wrong to do so. In other words, they give themselves permission to make mistakes, subconsciously. Thus they remain empowered.）While I was touched by the boys persistence, I was equally touched by the manner in he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident……so natural. No signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged—as if he didn't give a care about the world around him.
