- > don't give kids extra problems
either:
😑 they already see a problem; empathize &/ help solve it (now or in future)
🙈 they don't see their problem; point it out
🤔 they don't have a problem, you do—tell them something isn't working FOR YOU & seek a win-win

- adding the phrase "dropped her ice cream" (since apparently that's how I searched for it)
- Jesus was a systems thinker
