Dani’s first babysitting night
Dani — a 15-year-old babysitting a four-year-old neighbor for the first time
Forty minutes in, the four-year-old’s block tower falls. He screams, kicks the blocks, and runs behind the couch.
Dani’s first instinct is to fix it — rebuild the tower, fast.
But the child is not ready for a tower. He is not ready for anything yet.
What does Dani do first?
He peeks out. What next?
The move matters less than the order: calm, then follow, then play.
