Children as teachers

Overheard in the Wild Woods: Max was demonstrating a new skill to Grant: climbing onto a downed tree and walking across it. He seemed to be taking extra precautions in his explanations, saying "This is how you do it, first you go up on your knees, and then slowly stand up, and then stretch out your arms.." Grant was watching from the ground, and then with Max's encouragement, tried the skill himself. Fox jumped on behind him, but Grant was a bit hesitant, as it was a new skill for him. Max could be heard encouraging Grant from the ground, saying, "You got this, buddy!"
