Hello 👋, I Hope You're Doing Well..

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

I just had a weird dream that ended with someone throwing a cap and someone else saying khak throw-a. It wasn’t even khaki it was denim! Why are my dreams like this? :{

Peace be upon you,

My name is Ahmed Alanqer, a father of four children living in the heart of war. My eldest daughter, Zeina, is only seven, and my youngest was born during this nightmare. We’ve lost everything—our home, my job, and our future. 💔

My only hope now is to get my children to safety, away from the bombs and the constant fear. I humbly ask for your mercy and help to give them a chance to live in peace. Any support, no matter how small, could save our lives. 🙏

Please, share our message so it can reach everyone. 🌍

May God bless you for your kindness and reward you for your compassion.

With sincere gratitude,
