Try to use a redo to keep play fun. For example, “Oh no! The tower fell. I wonder if we can make an even taller one.” “I’m sorry that didn’t turn out the way you wanted. Do you want to try again or keep it like this?”
Purpose: Playtime can become frustrating when things don't go the way your child wants them to. If that happens, stay calm and give them a chance to redo whatever happened.
