Teaching our children that we are human is a great way to teach them how to cope when they are on their own and realize that quick 'n' easy isn't life and that very real fact doesn't make them failures at life. Making a parenting mistake (or any mistake) is brutal in front of our little ones, but the good of owning your mistakes, letting them see what ownership looks like and that we are human, and then how to fix those mistakes is an invaluable lesson for them to learn. It teaches them the "how" of life. It teaches them that they don't have to crumble and dissolve if something doesn't work out. It teaches them trust in you as well as confirmation of what they sense, see, and understand.
