Like, oh, if again, a different version of a story would be like, oh, OK, I know you didn't take the puzzle pieces, but I'm just thinking for me, like. So what would make me take puzzle pieces? Oh, I wonder if I felt left out or I wonder if I was just really trying to get my parents' attention for a while and this was the only way to do it. And what would I do after? And what would I need?

Now I'm going to get emotional. What would I need to know about myself or from my parent for me to share that I did take it? Maybe I would need to know that my parents knew I was a good kid. Hmm. Anyway, sorry, what were we talking about? Like, because your kids eventually make good decisions. Adults make good decisions for themselves because they ask themselves the right questions.

not because they've heard their parents' specific lesson, right? Because they're able to say to themselves, like, what am I feeling right now? What am I really looking for? Why did I do that? So like asking questions, telling stories, asking questions without even answering them actually provokes a much more sophisticated developmental process in your kid than the lectures we all, me included.

Trust me, plenty of times at my kid that I've just lectured them. But again, they're just catharsis. They're not actually terribly effective.

example because it's both cognitive and motor like you're fixing these pieces in different ways i have to get back to doing some puzzles i'm realizing and emotional you know i can really embarrass myself but one of my favorite things that i again i've just noticed my kids extending for puzzles because they all did a lot of puzzles when they're young is so funny i remember my kid doing like this puzzle and getting some frustration what i did is i did a puzzle to the side of him

Instead of doing it perfectly, I kind of like mimicked. I was like, oh, this doesn't fit. Oh, it's not that piece. Okay. And one of the things I noticed is when my kid was really young, kids have a really hard time with puzzles and it's kind of a metaphor for life for when a piece doesn't fit.

They keep trying it when what they really need to do is such a metaphor is put it down and pick up another piece, right? But I could tell my kid that, but I'm not, I always feel like just telling doesn't really work. So this is what I did. I'm not joking. I'm going to sing. Get ready, okay? So I was doing it over here and I just go, oh, it's not fitting. It's not fitting here.
