On the school run one morning, Ree announced a game of I Spy. Before I’d had a single turn, I was told I was going to lose, and that they would score more points than the whole world. Ree had already confirmed they were experts.
The little lesson: Children believe they can do anything when someone they look up to says so.
Try this at home: On your next car ride, let the youngest choose the game and make the rules.
Stories like this one fill the Little Adventures, Big Lessons books.
What games do your little ones invent on car rides? I’d love to hear them, and one might find its way into a future story. — Grandpa Andrew
