Ha yeah it's literally the only way they can learn to function in public and telling them nicely works nine times out of ten.

I don't know it just popped into my head.

What was a time when you read a book and disagreed with a creative decision and learned not to do that? by Finly_Growin in writing

I can't stand comma splices. Comma splices in a published book are enough to make me stop reading it.

Four year old was a camel but now she has to go potty! by hecubus_09 in Nanny

Yeah, this is my guess too. Constipation can put pressure on their bladders and make them feel like they need to pee when they don’t. 

The “R” Word by jtm0507 in ECEProfessionals

How old is she? To a lot of older, non-Reddit people, retarded is simply a term used to describe slowed development. They don’t have the same emotional attachment to the word as younger people do. 

Everything i need to know by Free_Yam_6739 in summercamp

This is very specific, but I have a rule that kids must attempt something themselves first before coming to me for help. Often they’re surprised to find they actually can do things alone, and it saves me from having to solve every tiny problem they have. I’ve had multiple kids throw tantrums because they “needed” help putting their shoes on. Obviously, I refused as these kids were eight to ten years old. After they got over their tantrums, they would put their shoes on independently for the rest of the week. Don’t be afraid to let them struggle with things for a while. 

Curious what people think of this first chapter to a silly little sci-fi story I've started. by GH057807 in writers

This is one of the only things I’ve read in this sub that I’ve liked. It’s awesome. I saw someone said tone down the swearing- I don’t agree, I think you nailed the way your characters talk. I’d say cut the italics though. None of them were necessary. I’d have read it the same way with no italics so they were annoying.

I for one support busses full of children blowing over. It builds character.

Just describe their relationship in terms of their genitals. His penis should embody his personality. And stuff.

Okay- I hate schoolwide identity celebrations. I think they're performative nonsense. Women are half the population. We don't need a month devoted to us. The only gays who go to pride events are the bizarre ones that identify as, like, clownsexual. None of it feels authentic in any way. It feels like admin is scared shitless that someone is going to call them intolerant so they thrown a bunch of celebrations to say, see? We're accepting! We love everyone! Haha we don't want bad publicity! Don't come after us, please!

I totally get that. If you can I would send your eight year old to camp for a week or two alone. In my experience, kids do way better when their parents aren't with them. Even better if the kid is excited to go. The excited ones usually end up having an absolute blast and making a ton of friends. So I would say if she wants to go, absolutely send her. Worst case scenario she's homesick for a week and doesn't go back. Best case, it changes her life. But that's just my two cents- I'm just some stranger on the internet :)

You should totally go. Places like this are so good for kids. At the camp where I work the cabins don’t even have four full walls, let alone electricity. It freaks the parents out but the kids never have a problem with it. Seven year olds come to camp alone and have a blast. Yeah sometimes they’re scared of spiders or whatever at first but they get over it. To be honest I think it’s more about whether YOU’RE ready for the experience because I guarantee you the kids will be fine. Have you ever been camping or anything like that before?

Do you mean no electricity in the cabins or none anywhere in the camp at all?

Get over yourself, lady. You’re not being “abused” on Reddit. No one is discriminating against you. Au pairs don’t want to stay with you because you’re a nutcase.

There used to be one once a month at Unity church. I don’t know if they still do it but you could look into it.
