When we are children, we don't really mean to break our toy cars...at least not the first time we pull the wheel off. It just happens. The second time, we DO mean to pull the wheel off, but only because we are establishing a causative norm. At that point, however, we have a broken car, and we go crying to our Mom and Dad to fix it...and that then becomes our goal (hopefully), to learn how to fix it ourself. I see nothing negative in this process. It seems to me to be the natural order of growth and learning.
