Hi Jessica – you could definitely replace ‘tomorrow’ with ‘next time’; I’d be a little cautious on shifting too much of the onus back to the child with “you can practice doing it tomorrow.”

I needed this, thank you! Thinking of how to best apply it with a toddler who would need more simplified language.

“Well, in our family we all help each other out. I’m happy to do it for you this time, and I’ll appreciate your help with it tomorrow.”

I think the part about appreciating his help tomorrow might get a little lost. Maybe “I can do it this time, and you can practice doing it next time”? What do you think would be super clear for a 2-3 year old?
