IMO you did the right thing, and should do it again relatively soon (when he's in a confident mood).

Part of why sports, scouts, etc make our children better is they show them what they can't do, then show them that they CAN actually do it if they try a few times.

Overall he should come out of it more confident and well adjusted. The most messed up kids I know are one's who's parents do everything for them.

Oh.. and be consistent.

I agree - he's getting to be a big boy and can learn to do this.

It sounds like you let it be a "natural consequence" not some big blown-out-of-proportion conflict.
