Day 188 · Keep a good part, change a useful part

Purpose: evaluate a chosen feature and optional revision without assuming improvement. C15/C16, H08/X08.

Ask which feature the child wants to keep, change or question. A new plan is available if no earlier work is wanted.
Capture the reason as purpose, preference, actual event or open question. Keeping a liked feature is evaluation; no failure is required.
Use a route to retain old/new own ideas honestly. Record when physical revision occurred and who acted.
After capture, tell C15's deliberate keep decision and C16's changed but untried plan. A different drawing is not a measured improvement.
If wanted and suitable, agree a recheck with the same question and note changed materials, operator or support. Otherwise retain the proposed effect.
Keep the child's choice and evidence. If an adult demands “better,” ask which job or preference the change serves rather than rewarding extra decoration.

Routes: annotate or point to a feature on an own drawing with its reason; direct one wanted broad-part move to an agreeing helper, naming their action; compare two own spoken/sign/AAC accounts and choose a feature without objects. The change may remain a plan.

Notice/next teaching: specific choice/reason and actual status. An unrelated message-space example can teach a feature/job connection without giving a held answer or compelling a positive result.
