Every day, Joshua sets out on his mission, learning a little more about the world and about how to bring an egg home without breaking it.

InspirationYehoshua tries to bring an egg in from the chicken coop every day. When the egg breaks, his mother keeps encouraging him to try again until he finds the right way to do it. Participating in house chores makes Yehoshua feel like he can be trusted. Toddlers learn to complete tasks by trying to do them repeatedly, failing, and recovering. Encouragement from their surroundings can make the difference between experiencing failure and learning, and developing a sense of capacity.
Train up a child in the way he should go
