We went back into the dungeon this episode to find a key we missed last time, and I spent the first ten minutes doing the dad thing. Slow down, go home, resupply, stock some healing food before we fight anything three levels above us. Evan just wanted to go.
Here's the part I want to point out. When we got stuck at the bottom of a crater with no way out, I didn't solve it. Evan did. He placed a hearth and worked out that we could teleport back to the one at our base. That saved us a huge run back and it wasn't my idea.
It's easy to be the parent with all the answers when you're playing together. The better moments show up when you sit on your answer for a second and let them find their own. He even handed me a wand he looted that hit twice as hard as mine.
When you play or build with your kid, how do you stop yourself from jumping in with the fix too fast?
