"Do not tell them how to do it.
Show them how to do it..
If you show them, they will
want to do it themselves.'

Allowing the child to continue working on a mastered work is a gift on its own. They will show interest to move forward when they are ready to do so.

“…we are here to offer this life (child)…the means necessary for it’s development; and having done that we must await this development with respect.” Maria Montessori.

“Good enough” does not mean mediocre or apathetic (the not-good-enough parent is real), but requires acknowledging the point beyond which attempts at further optimization cause more harm than good. Given reasonable conditions and plenty of love, there are many ways in which kids can have happy childhoods and emerge as healthy, conscientious, successful adults. The developmental psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik likens this approach to gardening. Where intensive parents are carpenters, hammering children into a particular shape one stroke at a time, gardening parents pour their labor into creating preconditions of “love, safety, and stability” for their kids to grow in potentially unpredictable ways.
