My son the other night asked if I could open the door for him. Asking why led him down a whole new path of thinking about the horrible solution to a problem he was about to undertake. Getting back to the root need he was able to understand his line of thinking was flawed. He gained more benefit from the critical thinking exercise than just having me help him with his ill-planned execution of his solution.
And later when he's sobbing on the therapist's couch, saying, "why couldn't he have just opening the door?! WHY?"
