Correct. If you come at people with any amount of hostility or even scrutiny, it may cause them to dig in even further. This is a fact of childcare and adult care services. Tell people what you want them to do rather than what you don’t want them to do. And if direct requests are seen as hostility, then take actions which imply their consent to follow directions. And if all else fails: redirect, redirect, redirect.

For instance:

“No pushing!” VS “Safe hands; safe body.”

“Don’t try that on the dirt; it’s slippery” (unnecessary justification and commanding) VS “I’ll show you how to do that over here on the grass,” as you walk with your back turned onto the grass (consent is is overridden with a subtle power play by 1.) not giving them an option to object, 2.) undetectably implying that if they don’t follow you into the grass, that they will not get to participate in the desired activity, and 3.) tapping into the human need to mirror others and follow social norms.)

“Let’s stop talking about this.” VS “Ooh what you said reminds me of [something which loosely relates to what they were talking about]… OH! And that have you heard of [other thing that loosely relates to the first distraction]…” until you play so much telephone that the original subject was lost.

There is nothing I hate more than people being paid to watch children not watching their children, going off, and doing their own thing and then coming back and getting into power struggle after power struggle with the kids who, because of the supervisor’s inaction, were allowed to misbehave for too long.

Working (in online school and burning myself out)

Do you remember what you spent 2020 doing?

Personally, I find it weirdly comforting, but I can also understand how it can feel awful and overwhelming for others with SPD

When you want to show off your legs and wear shorts, but you ride your bike everywhere and always have massive bruises on your lower legs from hitting the pedals with them when you dismount or walk your bike

Sensory issue and narrow feet culture is having calluses on the TOPS of your feet because you’ve refused to wear anything except for tight leather boots for the past five years because you cannot stand any shoe which does not strongly compress your ankles.

PSA:

Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.

That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).

A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.

Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).

Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.

The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.

After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.

You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”

Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.

So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.

Really annoying how every slightly sympathetic post to christians is treated with the grace and understanding that op isn't condoning religious extremists within that religion but as soon as I even mention Islam in any tone that's even slightly warmer than neutral,
