After I took my daughter to see The Surrounding Game movie, she begged me for an app to play, so I downloaded Cho U's 4x4 app. I just let her mess around with it in the car when I'm driving her around and don't pay much attention. Once in a while I scold her if I hear sounds that show she's just trying to guess the answer. Here's a recent problem where I just said, "show me the problem."

Hi Calvin,

What's her age ? Without the full context of the situation and the history and dynamics of the upbringing relationship, very difficult to tell if you were joking or being too harsh on her...

She is 8.
In this case I just remind her because I want it to stay fun. Parenting can be challenging, though. Husbanding, too. Every day is a learning experience.

I agree about the fun part. Perhaps the wording of 'scold' was too much -- you merely reminded her.
