4·26 Oct 2026·on going through my 6yo's test paper always ends in tears

Our daughter is much older now, but at that age what worked for us was letting her find the mistakes herself. We'd say there are two small slips on this page, can you spot them, and hand her the pencil. Somehow it became a game and not a verdict. We also kept it to one mistake per sitting and stopped the moment she got it. The rest of the paper could wait. Most days it was over before the tears could start ❤️
