Mr. Rogers had an intentional manner of speaking to children, which his writers called “Freddish”. There were nine steps for translating into Freddish: 

“State the idea you wish to express as clearly as possible, and in terms preschoolers can understand.” Example: It is dangerous to play in the street. ​​​​​​

“Rephrase in a positive manner,” as in It is good to play where it is safe.

“Rephrase the idea, bearing in mind that preschoolers cannot yet make subtle distinctions and need to be redirected to authorities they trust.” As in, “Ask your parents where it is safe to play.”

“Rephrase your idea to eliminate all elements that could be considered prescriptive, directive, or instructive.” In the example, that’d mean getting rid of “ask”: Your parents will tell you where it is safe to play.

“Rephrase any element that suggests certainty.” That’d be “will”: Your parents can tell you where it is safe to play.

“Rephrase your idea to eliminate any element that may not apply to all children.” Not all children know their parents, so: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play.

“Add a simple motivational idea that gives preschoolers a reason to follow your advice.” Perhaps: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is good to listen to them.

“Rephrase your new statement, repeating the first step.” “Good” represents a value judgment, so: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is important to try to listen to them.

“Rephrase your idea a final time, relating it to some phase of development a preschooler can understand.” Maybe: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is important to try to listen to them, and listening is an important part of growing.

We can’t cure mental illnesses, but we most certainly can find ways to cope with them that allow people to have “normal” lives.

cleaning with ADHD is a nightmare. it’s an endless cycle of finding a half-finished chore and stopping the one you were already working on, then remembering that something else needs to be done and getting started on that, then finding half-finished chore and

ok so there’s a game me and my friends play called “don’t get me started” and basically someone gives another person a random topic and they have to go on an angry rant about it and it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us at parties and car rides so I highly recommend playing sometimes with your friends

This is an awesome tool! I think it’s great to support women in non-women-dominated fields, plus she’s going over some super useful things.

JESSICA CHOU Has A YouTube Channel Teaching Women About Basic Vehicle Maintenance

This is quite an interesting YouTube channel concept, and it shows that … Asian chicks kick ass! JESSICA CHOU is a young Asian American woman who has a YouTube channel which basically teaches other girls and women about how to fix their car.

“I think we don’t see as many female mechanics because the industry is still so heavily dominated by men. When we think of a mechanic, we think of men. When we see ads or posters of mechanics, we see men. When we see shows about cars, we see men. It will take a long time to change all of this, but in the 10 short months that I’ve been on this journey, I’ve met so many incredible people who are out to change the game.”

So cool!! This also helps for doing school projects that are in different languages!

Reading in your target language just got so much easier

This cool little website, called readlang, allows you to upload your book, in your target language, from epub form into their website, right? And you just read your book from there. When you don’t know a word, what do you do? Do you go to google dot com and type in that word? Nope. You fucking click it. And it tells you the word. 

I am currently reading the 100 (this is the book that the tv show came from) and I can already tell reading this way is so much easier. I highly suggest making an account. It’s free, and works for more than 80 languages!

god not to be dramatic but no child in the whole of existence deserves to suffer and if i had a super power it’d be to find a good and loving home for every single child in the world bc they really do deserve nothing short of being loved and accepted and protected

Dude you made something into a black only issue when it wasn't about race. Since so many rapists get off scott free and the American government is very lax on punishment of rape especially compared to weed and the like, I wouldn't give a fuck if a few innocent people got inprisoned since so many more non innocent go free all the damn time.

No @grlreign​ I responded with black victims of false accusation to prove a point. No matter what you say to try to convince yourself you’re right, if you would sacrifice an innocent life in this manner than you are no different than any monsters that would Lynch an innocent life.

I posted black lives because it’s very easy to ignore white lives. An let’s be honest, you wouldn’t say any of this about none white men,that’s why you’re messaging me anonymously.  However at the beginning and end of the day, any attack on an innocent man is it attack on all men. So you just dismissed a whole lot of black lives as collateral damage for your righteous cause.

An that’s the problem with this “ends justify the means” mentality, You never really look carefully at the ends. You’re okay with sacrificing men but you never consider the men that would get sacrificed and you sure as hell would never let yourself admit that it is way more than “a few dudes.”

ARE YOU THAT RICH?

So do the diligence and pursue Justice because more Injustice is not nor will it ever be the solution. Also try getting your opinions from somewhere other than Teen Vogue.

Robert Barnes

A large group of teenagers and adults brutally beat a homeless veteran at a Philadelphia gas station.

The attackers used a hammer, a wooded club, and other weapons. Three black women, aged 23, 24, and 34 are facing charges. Three black teenagers, a 12 year old girl, a 13 year old boy, and a 14 year old boy are already serving time in juvenile detention. An all of this was over a lie.

Take a good long look at what you endorse.

But you’re right there are rapists who do get off with little to no consequence to their actions but nobody says shit when women do it.

Just like how they missed Krystal Harvey who admitted to filming herself as she performed sexual acts on her 1-year-old son and selling the tape to a pedophile for $300 so she could buy herself a laptop.

She got eight months home detention, 100 hours community service and 20 months of judicial monitoring. She won’t even be registered as a sex offender.

Just like how they managed to forget this two.SPARED JAIL BECAUSE THEY’RE DEAF Paedophile sisters who abused boy, 6, for over a decade dodge prison after judge says they would be ‘too isolated’

just like Cassandra Leigh Johnson who STILL got only FIVE YEARS for raping SIX FUCKING BOYS 12 and under and STILL GOT ACQUITTED!!!

I’m tired of the witch-hunt mentality that seems to be popular on this site. People make mistakes, always have and always will, and we learn from our mistakes by being told, not by being tortured. If you’re the kind of person who sees someone make a mistake and decides that the best course of action is to send them hate and encourage others to do the same, you’ve become the problem, not the solution.
