You live and learn. Nothing teaches you something like making a mistake.
Baby sticks hand on sharp pointy thing, baby doesn't do it again. You can
only shelter baby so much - you can't stick him in a cardboard box and hide
him from the world. Baby has to learn.

My parents have trouble learning their way around the wee iMac I've given
them but I wouldn't dream of telling them off or laughing at them if they
made a mistake on it. If someone had been there, always looking over my
shoulders when I was learning about computers, I don't think I'd know half
as much as I do now.
