not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of ‘no, wrong’ and maximizing the amount of ‘yes, and?’ for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if that’s what they are, or confidently telling us that’s what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids don’t like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like “It looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, you’re right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what they’re called?” you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker

to whoever added in the tags of boho papyrus post that you and he share the same sense of style. the multiple people who saw him in that shirt and then desired him carnally/maritally/whatever else-ally might hear you please. be safe. on my post. if there are causalities I cannot hire lawyers for you. or be one. despite the fictional one in my icon
#💥.txt#NERVOUS you might be crushed. under a pile of fan mail from adoring fans you HAVE to be careful#THEN AGAIN maybe it was never about the colorful top... maybe the shirt never did it... maybe it was the papyrus found within it all along#cooler than everyone........
