Helping over blaming
The Wise Friend · Story 10 of 15
“When someone is lost, it is better to show them the way than to chase them away.”
Why this page matters
The milk goes over at breakfast and the little one freezes, looking sure they are in trouble. A sharp word lands on a child who has worked it out already. A calm “oops, that happens,” then a cloth and wiping it up together, tells them a mistake is something you fix.
A child who expects blame may start hiding the next spill. A child who gets help first is more likely to come to you when something goes wrong, and may start helping others the same way.
