It is extremely difficult to explain to our students that it is ok to make a mistake and fail. I will sometime make mistakes during my lessons just to show them that is completely normal. Thank you for the great post.

Yes!! Showing often goes way further than explaining. It's great you do that @cudavenguyen I think that's the best way. Your students are lucky to have you.
I made a "fail contest" with my outdoor education group to see who could fail the most, none of the kids wanted to do it at first, but I just pointed it out every time I "failed"... "that's number 4" and such. They started to have fun and laugh, and make jokes about it, which felt really good.
