Which method should be chosen to help someone open the door? Why?
Thread Content
If you see someone trying to open a door; the first time it doesn’t open, they try to open it again using the same method. Question: 1. Will you tell him how to open it the first time he can’t open it? 2. The second time, when the door still didn’t open using the same method, remind him how to open it. If it were you, what would you choose? Compared to educating children, which would you choose? Some people have the following comments on this: Would you choose 1 or 2? Or other opinions? 1. Inform him in advance about the various risks associated with doing something, so that he can make his own decision. (The key is to strike the right balance; otherwise, over-reliance may occur.) 2. Some people say that since one already knows what mistakes they have made, there’s no need to tell them again. It didn’t help at all. (See how he adapts the \"free-range\" approach on his own)
If it were me, I might choose the second option – first trying it myself; if that doesn’t work, then explaining why or giving some advice to see if another method can be used to open it
I would choose the first method. Since you are on site and know how the door opens, tell them what’s wrong the first time they try to open it, instead of waiting until they make a mistake again before telling them!
Reply to 3# yusea: Since the door wasn’t opened the first time, is there any need to try again? One also needs to be flexible
