Learning Things The Hard Way.

Today's thought involves the rearing of children and the manner of learning. I was simply thinking of my own mannerisms and pondering why I always seemed to "learn things the hard way". I came to the conclusion that perhaps children raised in a more chaotic, mistake driven environment may be conditioned to this sort of behavior. In particular I was interested on what statistics may exist on this subject; particularly contrasted between children from different background. I was thinking that, perhaps, a child who's life is filled with fairly easy learning experiences will be more apt to learn things without first making the crucial mistakes that some of the rest of us find ourselves falling into. Suppose that these mistakes or, "learning experiences" are the result of being more able to cope with things in a negative connotation than a positive one. What if a dramatic childhood could cause one lose thier ability to accept easieness in life.
