Kids seem to have this innate drive to help us work on things and this is such a cool vessel through which we can teach them creative problem solving, persistence, kindness, patience, teamwork, and more. We can’t expect them to be the perfect apprentices, and not be distracted by an insect or a noise or literally everything, but we can expect them to learn something. We also can’t expect the job to be done perfectly, and that’s okay too. Just another opportunity to teach them about the importance of sticking with a skill to develop it and to get better. Remind them that those things that you do well now, were once really hard for you.
