Try and see

“Just try out different things and see what happens.” “Hmmm… what do you think we do next?”

If after a few tries, they’re still not getting to where they need to be, then you can jump in and guide.

Why this technique
It’s important to try to avoid answering too many questions. Once kids realize that you know about the product and how it is supposed to work, they are more likely to continue to turn to you for help without trying on their own.
