About this lesson
When a kid says they just do not want to mess up what Grandpa built, it sounds like humility. It is actually volunteering for guard duty. Family resources are stored energy meant to be aimed at people, ventures, and the next build, not a pile to babysit.
What you’ll learn
- Guarding a pile and directing energy are different jobs.
- Tell origin stories with the risk left in.
- Give the mandate in actual words: this is fuel, not a monument.
- Head starts are for running.
