The situation
A girl called Lena was looking after her little brother in the garden when he wedged his head between the railings of the fence, showing off — and now he couldn't get it back out. He started to panic, wriggling and crying, which only made it worse. Lena's first urge was to yank him free fast, but that clearly hurt him. She needed to think, fast, about how to actually help without making things worse.
