A Rare Occurrence

Tonight after dinner, Zorah volunteered to help wash the dishes. She does this every now and then, more then than now. I had to take a picture of her in the gloves.

She only did one or two items before she got tired of it. I think that's because I kept giving her advice on how to wash them. Oops. I wouldn't want someone micromanaging me, after all. I think the best way to learn is to figure things out yourself, asking for help if you need it. I guess one of the hardest things about teaching someone is sitting back and giving someone the opportunity to learn.

Can the same be said for parenting in general? Is the best course is to sit back and give your children the opportunity to discover who they are?
