To both your points. One of the proudest moments of fatherhood, “dad that’s a dumb rule. Can we change it?”
Chutes and ladders. My three year old asking why he had to fall down the chute again since he already did. New rule: chutes are one time only.
My son then ran into a problem: remembering which chutes have been exhausted. I let him put stickers on them.
Next time we play he will run into a new problem: all the stickers.
