Are anti-peer pressure campaigns just a way of suppressing democratic instincts in our children? My daughter was watching a video for school where a bunch a kids are like I've NEVER peer pressured anyone (BULLSHIT) and talking about how people who use peer pressure are bad and selfish etc etc. What is democracy if not peer pressure? A group majority decides on norms that are then imposed on the whole. That's peer pressure, god drat it. That's democracy. That's how it works!

sonatinas posted:it’s just an euphemism for advocating bad choices I would think Why are we marketing that as peer pressure? Any attempt to influence members of your peer group is peer pressure, but we only call it peer pressure when it's in a bad direction? And by doing so, we declare by default that any instance of peer pressure is bad, even though it's a neutral concept.

Good soup! posted:My 3 month old, back from her doctor's visit with her mom, looked at me and said "History does nothing, it ‘possesses no immense wealth’, it ‘wages no battles’. It is man, real, living man who does all that, who possesses and fights; ‘history’ is not, as it were, a person apart, using man as a means to achieve its own aims; history is nothing but the activity of man pursuing his aims." my three year told me that he built all the buildings and planted all the trees. i said, "so its your fault."

my kid has been in school this year. the school has been doing a reasonably good job. occasionally we got an email from the principal about an individual covid case, but there havent been any outbreaks. staff and teachers seem to be on point. but i have a very reasonable fear that this time its going to be a whole week before we get an email saying, "welp, everyone's got covid."

PerniciousKnid posted:My plan is to send my Kindergartner as long as they have a mask mandate in place, which was going to be lifted after winter break but is now back on for various ill-defined reasons. My kids school is still doing masks with no plans to stop, it's just that omicron doesn't seem to give much of a gently caress about cloth masks, which is all you can expect eight year olds to wear. I'm heavily leaning towards keeping her home for a week, just in case the school blows up.

Kid had a bday party scheduled for tomorrow. I did not want to go because I'm sure I would be exposed by some maskless parent. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. The birthday boy was already exposed to covid at daycare so the party is cancelled!

DR FRASIER KRANG posted:the other day my son was playing BOTW and he was saying "take that you blackies!" (because he was fighting the black variant of an enemy) and we paused the game and I told him "you can't say that because that term (among others) has been used as a slur against black people." I took my four year old to birthday party at Chuck E Cheese over the summer. This was a terrible mistake, CEC sucks rear end and no one was wearing a mask. Never again. They had the latest Transformers shooty-game that is similar to the arcade classic LA Machineguns only worse in every possible way. Later, he's telling Mom about the game and how he had to SHOOT THE BLACK GUYS. And then I remembered that, yes, most of the Decepticons in the game are a black metal color. Very cool game design by Sega Ent.

NeatHeteroDude posted:I think I have a short list of things i recommend to parents about internet usage and access, and one of the big ones is that they always know which streamers their kid watches the easiest number of streamers to keep track of is zero. i have a youtube extension that only shows videos from subscribed channels, so i can subscribe to something she can use, like a follow-along for practicing music, without worrying about her getting lost in some low quality bullshit. children need education, books, and toys. they do not need the loving internet. at all. i have seen my nine year old's peers. i know which ones have the internet brain. it sucks.

Chad Sexington posted:My wife is only 20 weeks pregnant, so not sure I qualify for this thread yet, but lead chat has prompted me to order a test kit for our 1950s house! We ordered a full lead survey for a 1920s house where they use a machine to scan all the walls and stuff. You get a report with numbers for the level of lead on each surface. It penetrates through paint so you can get a good read on whether or not the lead is "sealed." High numbers mean the lead paint is likely on top. After we did ours I repainted most of the house using Zinsser Cover Stain oil-based primer followed by regular latex paint. That is what most professionals would recommend. They don't recommend stripping because that just releases the lead into the air. At least, not by yourself. It's a special job that is very expensive. The downside of doing this report is now you know about the lead paint so you can't check the box that says, "I don't know" if you sell the house. You have to give potential buyers a copy of the report. Fat-Lip-Sum-41.mp3 has issued a correction as of 13:18 on May 12, 2022 |

IAMKOREA posted:Why are they so cranky afterwards? Are they playing online in toxic environments? That's not a snippy question I legit have no idea about the modern state of Minecraft, when I played it like a decade ago or whatever it was pretty chill but there was no multiplayer at that point unless you like set up a lan with your stoner roommate which again, was pretty chill High intensity audio-visual stimulation. That's all. The brain is getting a lot of stimulation while the muscles do nothing. When you shut it off, they get cranky. They want screen time more than anything in the world. It's bad for them. It's bad for us, too.

PBSkids has plenty of decent shows for kids to watch. There's no need to give kids access to youtube. There's nothing they watch without my knowledge. I queue up everything. I'm a screentime My older one has a phone connected to the wifi, but it locked down so that she can only facetime with people on her contact list or use Messenger Kids to talk to friends from school. There's wikipedia on there too but she hasn't shown much interest in learning about Finland's heroic struggle against the USSR. Yet.

Kal-L posted:Wife says she's had a hard time bonding with our daughter, and says it's because she has her mom's (my mother in law) name. Says that giving her a different name would help. I'm not thrilled since we had decided on that name since years ago, and that's how I always tought of my then future daughter. She seemed to be content with just adding her sister's name, but now she says that maybe giving our daughter names from her side of the family is not working, so now every other day she starts calling her by another name, to see which one is a good fit. Post-partum depression is a real thing. I'm not an expert or a relevant professional, but this might be more than a mere annoyance.
