my kids are gonna be like mommy what’s an ipad and i’m going to be like we DONT use that word in this house. play with worms.
An iPad is a very valuable parenting tool. It turns kids off. They just stop. I have seen it being abused by exhausted parents. I’ve also seen it be used resourcefully. A long car trip, and you don’t want your child to fall asleep from boredom and ruin their schedule? Tablet. Need to take you child to your doctor and have them be quiet? Tablet. Really any place that they HAVE to be and you don’t have the ability to control their behavior any other way. Tablets really do turn child off. They stop moving, speaking, etc. It’s like a drug. Something that I see parents abuse.
They give their child a tablet to watch videos for four hours because they need a nap. They give their child videos to keep them quiet during house work. They give their child videos because they do not want to interact with their child. In those situations redirecting children to activities is the best solution.
Every use you just listed a tablet for, it would be better to put a picture book or coloring book in a child’s hands. Something that doesn’t negatively harm their attention span and create dopamine dependencies.
imagine saying “it’s like a drug” as a good thing..
if anyone ever tries to tell u that racism/sexism/ableism/etc. are “natural” just show them this video
Those two that just could not come up with any differences! They were like “we both got glasses, both got these red sweaters, maybe we’re different heigh- nope we’re the same height… well shit we’re perfectly the same!”
Those kids were perfect
Whenever I see this video I’m always struck that the kids are so quick to say what their friends are GOOD AT or what their friends enjoy. They’re so quick to build each other up!
I love this ad so much. I watch it several times every time it comes over my dash.
“I used to not like lettuce but now I like lettuce.” That’s ALWAYS the cutest thing I’ve heard in like a month.
What’s also really interesting to me is listening to the kids’ VERY adult thinking noises.
This is adorable
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“No.”
I love this so much djdjj
This is ridiculously sweet 🥺
Shout out to that one kid whose parents are almost DEFINITELY lying to him about the squirrels in their roof as a way to limit TV time
I am begging pleading etc someone to connect with me to talk about the hunger games this is a side blog I cant reach out but I am begging I need to process feelings at 25 that I had at 15 too. I just crave that community once again.
(hi im a 25 yo medical student girly slipping back into my hunger games era just in time to become a doctor, I follow back from my personal account whorphydice!)
Hello 👋 this is a whole mood in the most relatable way. The craving community is exactly how I feel about Harry Potter, and to a lesser extent The Hunger Games but it’s still there nonetheless. I’m 26 and it’s been a while since I’ve read the books but feel free to reach out if you’d like to talk 🙂
Imagine Arthur Weasley at a carwash. First he’d have to try them all out. The kinds where you park your car and wash it yourself, the kinds where you pull in and the system moves around you, and the top notch kinds where you get pulled along for the wash. Imagine him taking in all the lights, bubbles, colors, sounds, smells, soaps, waxes, and last but not least the mega drying vents.
