For a dad with a child aged 6 to 9
Today, you don’t have to know.
Hi Dad,
You are usually the one who explains how things work. Today your child is the expert. In that Lego build, that football trick or that game they won’t stop talking about.
Ask: ‘Will you teach me?’ Let your child explain, show you and decide where to start.
Ask a real question and hold back your own input, even if you already know how it works. Let your child find out what it is like to teach you something.
Maybe you learn a trick. Maybe you suddenly get why that one game is so much fun. Either way, your child gets your full attention.
Have fun together,
Martijn
