If you are in a position of power and you're telling me in good faith that you are *actually* this incompetent? That's an easy problem to solve. You are relieved of your duties effective immediately. We no longer require your service. Thanks.

It is genuinely impossible for us to imagine what a world where nearly *half of us* don’t make it to 16 years old! and the general comfort/expectation level all societies had about it! but yet: was the basic experience of almost everyone from our great-grandparents backwards…forever! everywhere!

The end of COVID relief and the fact that we changed nothing—no new workplace safety rules, no single-payer, etc.—after over 1 million Americans died represents probably the greatest political scandal of the last 100 years.

Yes.

Sometimes ableism runs that deep. The fear of being helpless & no longer in control.

The primary need of every human is to feel a sense of belonging and significance in their communities. We also need help. Cultivating a supportive community is essential for successful AT + Misbehavior is communicating unmet needs Humans need the Crucial Cs: connect, capable, count, and courage. Humans also deal with senses, executive function, and communication needs. When they don't get them they develop mistaken goals and act out to get their needs met. RESPECT RESPECT Kind and Firm at the Same Damn Time Kind does not mean nice. You don't have to be Marry Poppins. You can be kind and respectful and establish boundaries and limits. Ensure actions are respectful to you, your children, community, and environment. Mistakes are Learning Opportunities It's not Perfect Parenting, it's Positive Parenting. Recognize you made a mistake. Accept accountability without gaslighting, excuses, negative self talk, blame or shame. Forgive because you are human. Focus on solutions and repair to go forward. Let's Work Together Collaboration reinforces a person's sense of belonging and trust. Using authoritative parenting, caregivers ensure that expectations, boundaries, limits, and consequences are clear, consistent, respectful, reasonable, related, and helpful for everyone.

You prioritize and model the life skills and characteristics you want children to hold. You Can Do It! Encourage children to discover how capable they are with autonomy, consent, problem solving, & critical thinking at their cognitive level. Make moments for constructive use of positive personal power & independence Ask, Don't Tell: Would you rather have cooperation and problem solving from intrinsic motivation or obedience from fear or people pleasing? Do you enjoy being told what to do or asked? Children will listen to you AFTER they feel listened to and validated. Trauma and HOPE informed Care for parents, caregivers, and children.
