SubjectNest · Ready for the next little job

One exact instruction

Ask, “What should happen first with your ready sheet?” Keep the child's own instruction before an adult example. With locally suitable paper, the child may place/mark one part or direct a willing adult exactly. Name the actual actor. Ask a next-use or return step, retaining it as proposed unless done. Finished work can be kept intact. No cutting, tidy-up quota or reward for touching is required.

Grown-up help

Next help: replace a vague “do it” invitation with a neutral question about which part and place; do not complete the design.
