It's your fault, accept the shame and teach her.

I wouldn't put it that bluntly.... but yeah. OP you can't shame your child for not knowing something you should have taught her. Teach her, kindly, explaining why things are done a specific way.

Thanks for simplifying that big word condescension for us...πŸ€”
