The habit kids may copy: try again
In Dragon Land, things often don't work on the first try, and the friends keep at it until they do.
Try tonight: one more try
Pick something hard, like a puzzle piece or a shoelace. When it doesn't work, say: "Not yet. Let's try one more time." Praise the trying, not the result. In our program, this is the lesson "Not Yet": the trying matters.
