Oh boy, do these kids know how to argue!
It’s that time of year when we are all looking for atonement. Well, I definitely got my humbling experience today.
I don’t often find myself stumped in an argument. I’m a pretty good advocate or devil’s advocate, whichever the case may be. And today I was beaten by a 6 year old! Talk about looking like a fish, you know, mouth opening and closing with nothing coming out? And I felt so stupid! I mean, what kind of adult goes arguing with a 6 year old? And gets beaten to boot?
So how do we make sure not to get beaten? (We’ll talk another time about how not to go about arguing with a 6 year old.)
The secret is in losing without being beaten. If you remain the adult, the conclusion of the argument isn’t really important. And think of the amazing example you are setting for those kids who insist on always being right! Win-win!
