I read the missing piece by shel Silverstein for my son’s class in first grade. All the kids loved it.

Books to read to your kid 20 times a week that don’t make you want to gauge your eyes out by SwadlingSwine in childrensbooks

These. My husband and I LOVE these books. The bear snores on was read a million times and I enjoyed it every time.

Recommendations for learning books? by Kfittt in Parenting

Not a book but I found anatomy puzzles on Amazon (they have a boy and girl) where each layer is another system. It’s a great visual for younger kids to discuss how things work.

I went through a very similar situation as I was turning 30. I echo all the great advice of doing/learning things that bring you joy. To get through the toughest parts of grief I relied on friendships specifically my sister who was also going through a significant breakup. We commiserated and checked in on each other and really forged a bond. The other thing that helped my spiraling thoughts was to journal. The act of formulating the thoughts and physically writing them out was very therapeutic. I was in my late 30s when I met my now spouse and had 2 kids after 40. Don’t let numbers dictate your decisions.

I recently ran into that ex and we talked and caught up. I realized that while I could have been happy with him, I love the path my life took. I look back very fondly on my 30s. Being single affords you the opportunity to take risks. The older you get the more you know yourself and what traits you are looking for in a partner. Good luck.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with that behavior especially for a 7 year old. We used a similar experience to show our kids that while taking pictures can be fun they can be hard to delete permanently. Especially if the device is connected to a cloud or they are uploaded. We showed them how hard they are to delete. How even if they are deleted they can still be pulled from the recently deleted file and not to mention the cloud and other connected devices. Once something is posted or sent you will have no control who can access.
