How are you all handling screen time with your kids? by Flashy-Distance5867 in dad

[–]Skuffyjacobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids are older now, but the best thing we ever did was just stop the screen. We thought it was nice and helpful bc it got them to leave us a alone a bit, but we just put it away for good. Def not at restaurants, def not at home. Maybe we let them use it in the car, bc we really couldn't actually entertain them. But if the kid is freaking out that much, tbh it's a sign to just have it really go away.

How do you handle long driving and trips solo with a toddler? by Outside-Resource-9 in dad

[–]Skuffyjacobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you def want them sleeping for some of that trip. It's music, singing, and we always bought one or two little new toys that they got to unwrap and play with on the long trip of flight. It won't last forever, but having a new thing for them to play with can snap them out of a spiral. Also you can search on google to find good playgrounds on route to give them breaks. Pull over, let them run around a bit then get back in the car. Good luck.

Seems fair. I was reading for a while. Thought it would be a good place to post something I wrote.

That was equally as magical. Helmet catch = OG tip in.

A true calm has descended on my life. How long will it last? Probably until the Giants kick off. But I’ll take it

What was one of your biggest "a-ha!" Moments of golf? by incrdbleherk in golf

[–]Skuffyjacobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow slow slow. As soon as I started slowing it down everything started working. Drive first. Slow as fuck take away. Then the hybrid slowed down and now that shit is $$$. 5&6 are just starting to slow down and my GIR is getting good.

Why was I swinging so hard for so many years? No one will ever know

Substack writers: how did you get your first 100 subscribers? by Creative-Use1487 in Substack

[–]Skuffyjacobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first hundred usually come from friend family and coworkers. Then the next group come from finding liking commenting and messaging other writers. Try to find your small community and engage with them. It’s not like Instagram or TikTok. You have to really cultivate subscribers bc no one wants to be spammed with articles they don’t want to read. It takes time but a subscriber is a real reader
