  • Little kids often don’t eat until they’re full, lots of kids might sit down eat four bites of food say I’m done, run off to go do something less boring then in half an hour be in tears they’re so hungry, at least this was my youngest child and she’s definitely not alone. It’s about knowing how much your child has eaten that day and how active they are with balancing their body’s need for fuel and their hunger drive. My son played tag football when he was 8, he would not eat enough on his own, get low blood sugar and feel very sick, I wasn’t teaching him to overeat, I was teaching him to consider his lifestyle and choose healthy food options to make sure he could do things he wanted.

    Kids aren’t like adults, they do need guidance on basically everything. Forcing your kid to be in the clean plate club for every meal no matter what is a far cry from encouraging a child to appropriately fuel their body.


  • To me having the bar be some outside goal seems so strange? So if a person is disabled and can’t “earn a living” or have the ability to navigate “the things needed for day to day life” whatever that means since it’s different for everyone, remains a child? To me this is a very dangerous way of defining adulthood and anyone denied the opportunity to earn money/gain skills is subjugated to being a child? Historically speaking this would make nearly all women children until the 1970s. Adulthood is a mindset





















  • I cry probably daily on average if we count all types of crying. I’ve sobbed a handful of times in my life. I cry hard a few times a year. I mostly cry because I’m inspired by something like the Artemis II mission had me crying either because of the spirit of space travel or being touched by how much I love all 4 of the beautiful people on it. I cry when I’m happy.
