Hypothetical example: a child paints a sibling’s model without asking, then joins a parent in checking whether the altered part can be repaired as the owner wants.

01The owner’s work

Hear the intended task before judging improvement.

02The alteration

Separate observed changes from guesses.

03Honest repair

Do not promise a restoration you cannot make.

04Future help

Give the next offer a clear boundary.
