Teach the child how to begin again after an error, not only how to avoid one.

Avoiding mistakes is only half a skill, and the half that fails under pressure. A child taught mainly to be careful has nothing to do once something has already gone wrong, so the error becomes a crisis rather than a step. What they need is the recovery: how to stop, look at what happened, fix what can be fixed, and carry on without the whole thing collapsing.
When something goes wrong in front of a child, narrate your own recovery out loud. Show the step where you start again. Praise the getting back to it at least as often as the getting it right.
Who taught you how to start again after getting something wrong?
