Analysis of: "You Need To Teach Your Kids To Fail. Here's How."
The article is about parents who need to teach their children how to fail because if children never fail, they will never learn to bounce back and learn from their fails. According to the text, many parents in today's society are lawnmower parents, implying that they mow all the obstacles their children face. An example of this is that Lori Loughlin did not think her daughter could get into the college she wanted, so she bribed someone at the school to get her in. Michele Borba said, "Failure is part of life, and if our children do not have the opportunity to fail or make mistakes, they will never realize they can bounce back. That is what resilience is all about." If children do not have to face any obstacles, they will not learn how to take care of themselves, and later in life, they will have problems.
The article is expository writing because it informs the reader that parents do too much for their children. It explains everything assuming that the reader knows nothing about this subject. That is visible because the second section explains the term "lawnmower parenting." The meaning of the text is clear from the start because the first sentence is "Lawnmower parenting" is making headlines as more parents try to mow down every obstacle or difficulty their child may face," which is what the whole article is about.
