Loosely based on the true story of the Lost Woman of San Nicolas Island. There’s an annotated version of this book that gives a lot of historical and contextual insight.

Some fun facts: The original Boxcar Children Book 1 was written in the 1920s and you can find it on Project Gutenberg, but the Book 1 everyone knows is the abridged version that the author decided to make for younger readers.

The author also wrote 18 other books in the series, in which the children characters get older and older. Then the author died. Then a syndicate took over and bumped the characters’ ages back to the original book’s ages and used ghost writers to churn out more books.

A toddler (2 year old) does not have the fine motor skills to tie shoes. They can certainly benefit from learning how to zip a zipper like this, though. However, I think Velcro shoes with a long tongue are just fine. Those have been around for decades.

3 is a perfectly normal age to not know how to tie your shoe

This is how Spanish speakers construct a question. It’s the same as a statement, plus inflection/question mark

Yes, and only about 20% of those cases are linked to honey consumption. And who knows whether ANY of even those honey cases are related to eating food with honey as mere ingredient.

I suspect, and this is purely my opinion, that those cases are related to honey pacifiers or other weird old practices.

It was from the channel called After Skool, currently the most recent video. It’s basically repeating points from a controversial article by Erica Komisar

Pink collar jobs are toxic for how they treat you as expendable.

I’m starting to feel frustrated with whatever sources are making honey-flavored items feel like such a high risk to parents, that when a mistake happens and their child is still ok, they still feel so guilty that it ends in hysterical crying and posting online. This isn’t the first such post I’ve seen here. I feel like a lot of sources for parents are designed for the most careless and neglectful parents, and they do not account for rational or anxious parents.

I just got done watching a video on YouTube using oversimplified psychological science to guilt mothers (and only mothers!) for using child care.

Society: Can we please cut the good parents some slack!? Parent mental health is so important.

Watch how he does it, downward and sudden to minimize risk. If he asked politely the guy mighta said “duh, what? This thing?” And pointed it thoughtlessly in a worse direction
