With my daughters, I will surely take them the more forgiving route. . at least until I feel they are capable and comfortable doing the dirtywork solo. But with myyoung sidekick that I mentor (ex-girlfriends 15 y/o son). . . I showed him every thing one time, and the kid just took it and RAN!! God love him, the kid is an absolute natural. . .and man, does that my role SO easy. . and enjoyable
