“No one is talking about–” Untrue. It hasn’t been served up as content slop for you and you don’t know how to look for it because your media literacy maxed out at Wattpad. Stop treating politics like it works algorithmically
my 8 year old has some emotional regulation difficulties, and I’ve done my best to help him with those.
unrelated, I gave him a shovel a couple of days ago and told him to go have fun in the field because I was tired.
He suddenly seemed happier, having less trouble breathing through disappointment and just being generally all around more cheerful and able to focus in school better. Sure, my partner had to pull him out of a six foot by three foot hole today, but he was stoked about it!
Marked places in the yard where I needed holes and he happily dug them and helped me plant trees, then helped me turn the compost pile and dig the garden beds. He is happy, my back isn’t killing me, and we have discussed erosion and soil quality with the gravitas of an 8 year old discovering something they enjoy
Congrats on your future landscaper. Make sure he catches you reading books that will take him up a good path to a rewarding career.
Or gravedigger. Boy might just be in it for the holes.
