I will never forget a couple years ago a friend at a family party was doing crafts with the kids and said do it your way to the kids...that is so HARD for parents to sit back and watch your kids do crafts without jumping in and taking over.
So this week I went into my daughter's class and me and some other parents helped them make gingerbread houses. Oh man the stress level started to rise as the art lover in me tried to kick in and help and those words played in my head "Do it your way" as the kids houses started to collapse and slide down. I finally said to my daughter can I please help you. She laughed and let me so I attempted to save her house and make it look somewhat presentable. The funny thing is later this week I let my little ones make some at home and well I just sat back and said "do it your way"
Sometimes you have to just let things go and sit back and let them do things their own way.
