One of my favorite expression all kids use is: “I want a Do-Over.”
I hear it after beating my kids in a fierce match of ping pong, or after one of my sons beats another in an intense game of basketball, or after Grace beats her brothers in a friendly (frequently turning violent) game of Sorry.
It may sound childlike to insist on a “Do-Over,” but embracing the potential within the expression could be transformative for adults, too. Let me explain.
