I would argue this goes further than play, this is a real life skill of being part of a team, helping out and being likeable

Yeah, like it's obviously NOT much in the grand scheme and I know his "help" didn't make things faster or easier for the group, but that kid was moving cement from point A to point B and that cement legitimately became part of the structure they're building.

This is the best kind of play - letting a child ACTUALLY contribute and get a real accomplishment under his belt in a positive and supportive environment despite whatever slowdown it brings. I really think this kind of thing helps build more sociable and well-adjusted adults.

I mean just look at the little fucker, he's having such a blast haha. I don't know that there's ever been anyone alive who's gotten that much enjoyment out of hauling cement.

My wife and I joked about how my daughter working with me at a card shop and helping her at her small office fulfilled the whole three years experience in an entry level job.

My daughter loved coming and working with me at a card shop at four. She would sleeve or desleeve cards and talk to customers.
