I was sitting for two four-year-olds and a ten-year-old this afternoon. The two little ones were building a spiraling train track from wooden blocks, and they realized almost upon completion that they'd misplaced a few of the key pieces. One of them started kicking at it all, frustrated, almost yelled.
I said, without blinking or thinking, "You know...sometimes we just make a mistake. And all that makes sense is to start back from scratch and try to make it better next time."
I should listen to my babysitter voice more often in my everyday life.
