Self-administered medication: Chocolate the Easter Bunny accidentally forgot hide
QOTD: “I want to eat yogurt mixed with peanut butter.”
Curious child: After spending three days searching YouTube for Star Wars-themed dance videos, I now have an interesting collection of “suggested” videos to watch.
Notes:
Mixing chocolate, children, and self-isolation is a dangerous combination.
The days are blending into each other, there seems to be no difference between one day and the next. Fortunately, the kids are thriving on routine and are self identifying when they have to do the next activity. That does make things somewhat easier.
Unfortunately, any variation is not welcome and occasionally ends in tears (particularly with the younger one). Except, of course, hunting for chocolate the Easter Bunny left. That surprise seemed to be welcome.
I wonder why.
I’ve been reading a book on parenting, peer-orientated culture, and their impacts on the development of children. It’s written by a couple of highly educated professionals. If you’re looking for a densely written book with insightful observations on many of the challenges facing youth culture, check out Hold on to Your Kids by Gabor Maté and Daniel Mate.
