I like to think combat training for these two became more complicated as they got older, if you know what I mean

I colored the last one first and then lowered my standards. give it up for 10yo ambrosius and his glaringly yellow shirt

Boost Your Child’s Self-Confidence with Life Lessons Global

Life Lessons Global is committed to nurturing not just academic success but also the personal development of every child. One of the key aspects of a child's growth is the development of self-confidence. A confident child is more likely to face challenges, take risks, and build positive relationships. In this article, we will explore the strategies employed by Life Lessons Global to boost your child's self-confidence.

Encouraging Individuality:

Life Lessons Global believes in the uniqueness of every child. By fostering an environment that celebrates individuality, children are encouraged to embrace their strengths, interests, and quirks. This acceptance creates a foundation for self-confidence, as children learn that they are valued just as they are.

Positive Reinforcement:

Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool in building confidence. Life Lessons Global emphasizes acknowledging and praising children's efforts and accomplishments, no matter how small. By focusing on the positive, children develop a sense of achievement, reinforcing the belief in their capabilities.

Setting Realistic Goals:

Goal-setting is an essential skill for personal growth. Life Lessons Global guides children in setting realistic and achievable goals. Success in reaching these goals, even if they are incremental, contributes to a child's self-assurance. Learning to overcome challenges and achieve milestones builds a strong foundation for confidence.

Fostering a Growth Mindset:

Life Lessons Global instills a growth mindset in children by teaching them that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. This perspective encourages resilience and a positive attitude toward challenges. Children learn that setbacks are opportunities for learning and growth rather than failures.

Effective Communication Skills:

Developing effective communication skills is crucial for self-confidence. Life Lessons Global emphasizes teaching children how to express themselves, articulate their thoughts, and listen actively. Clear communication enables children to convey their ideas and needs, fostering a sense of self-efficacy.

Promoting Leadership Opportunities:

Life Lessons Global provides various leadership opportunities, allowing children to take on responsibilities and make decisions. Being in leadership roles, whether big or small, helps children develop a sense of autonomy and capability, boosting their confidence in their ability to lead and influence positively.

Cultivating a Supportive Community:

Confidence flourishes in a supportive community. Life Lessons Global fosters an inclusive and supportive environment where children feel accepted and encouraged by their peers and mentors. A sense of belonging and positive social interactions contribute significantly to a child's self-esteem.

Conclusion:

Life Lessons Global understands that building self-confidence is a lifelong journey. By nurturing individuality, providing positive reinforcement, encouraging goal-setting, fostering a growth mindset, developing communication skills, promoting leadership opportunities, and cultivating a supportive community, Life Lessons Global equips children with the tools they need to face the world with confidence and resilience. The lessons learned at Life Lessons Global go beyond the classroom, shaping children into confident, capable individuals ready to tackle life's challenges head-on.

Some time ago, in an article on race stereotypes, I read something that stuck in my mind, but that only recently has seemed to have anything to do with children. The author spent some time in a German concentration camp during the war. He and his fellow prisoners, trying to save both their lives and something of their human dignity, and to resist, despite the impotence, the demands of their jailers, evolved a kind of camp personality as a way of dealing with them. They adopted an air of amiable dullwittedness, of smiling foolishness, of cooperative and willing incompetence - like the good soldier Schweik. Told to do something, they listened attentively, nodded their heads eagerly, and asked questions that showed they had not understood a word of what had been said. When they could not safely do this any longer, they did as far as possible the opposite of what they had been told to do, or did it, but as badly as they dared. They realized that this did not much impede the German war effort, or even the administration of the camp; but it gave them a way of preserving a small part of their integrity in a hopeless situation. ... Does not something very close to this happen often in school? Children are subject peoples. School for them is a kind of jail. Do they not, to some extent, escape and frustrate the relentless, insatiable pressure of their elders by withdrawing the most intelligent and creative parts of their minds from the scene? Is this not at least a partial explanation of the extraordinary stupidity that otherwise bright children so often show in school? The stubborn and dogged "I don't get it" with which they meet the instructions and explanations of their teachers - may it not be a statement of resistance as well as one of panic and flight? ... To a very great degree, school is a place where children learn to be stupid. A dismal thought, but hard to escape. ... Infants are not stupid. Children of one, two, or even three throw the whole of themselves into everything they do. They embrace life, and devour it; it is why they learn so fast, and are such good company. Listlessness, boredom, apathy - these all come later. Children come to school curious; within a few years most of that curiosity is dead, or at least silent.

When you call "influencers" what they are, freelance marketers, it makes the phrase "mommy/family influencer" sound just as dark as it is in reality.

They are using their children to sell you things. Some of these people intentionally have children solely in order to use them as marketing devices.

They aren't harmless or wholesome. They are expanding and normalizing new and different forms of familial abuse to a worldwide audience

of all the good reasons to have an ace headcanon for him, why would you land on this

#not maintagging this #and I wish I could say this was a singular instance #but sadly it isn't #people can be uninterested in sex without being reduced to children or having their intelligence insulted #not even mentioning that a-spectrum experience is so varied in general #the two sides of terrible asexual generalisation: unfeeling robots and children #if you say someone is too dumb or emotionally immature to understand sex #you imply that if they just grew up a little or learned a bit more they would change their mind #ace people get that kind of patronising enough we don't need the call to come from inside the house as well

Prompt 131

Okay, so first of all Dan would like to say it’s not his fault. Ellie was the one to bring some unknown object into the speeder and Jazz was the one driving. Or had Sam been driving- didn’t matter! It wasn’t his fault, he wasn’t the one shooting at them, he wasn’t the one to break whatever, he was not the one to open a stupid portal, and so it wasn’t his fault! 

So why is he now like, five years old, and why is the speeder crashed in some sort of corn field. Why is everyone- except for Jazz whose now like six- also like three at most?! And- oh fuck the door just opened and… okay that’s a kid. Like, nine at most. 

A kid and an adult, who he hadn’t noticed at first so again, it’s not his fault if he hissed at them and tried to hide his not-siblings behind him. It’s also not fair they’re apparently stuck to ghost speak for who knows how long, but at least they can understand the people. 

“Martha, get some blankets, it’s happened again!”

Steve comes home from work early one day to see that not only is his kindergartener, Hazel, home from school (which is normal), his third grader, Robbie, is also home (which, seeing as there are still several hours until when her school bus would usually be dropping her off, is not normal).

Steve: Oh, Jesus.

Steve: What’d you do?

Robbie: *no response*

Eddie, prodding his daughter: Explain.

Eddie: Own your shit, girlie.

Robbie: *continues to silently fume on the couch*

Eddie: Fine.

Eddie: When I picked up Hazel, the principal made me take her home too after what was described to me as a relentless verbal onslaught against – wait for it –

Eddie: A first grader.

Steve, baffled: Robbie – what the fuck?

Robbie: *positively massive eye roll*

Robbie: She was being mean to Hazel.

Robbie: All I did was tell her that if she messes with Hazel, then I’m messing with her.

Steve: *long, tired sigh*

Steve: I just…

Steve: Robbie – you pushed Hazel down the stairs yesterday.

Steve: On purpose.

Steve: For my sake, just pick a side.

I’ve seen people talk about the main theme of the owl house being acceptance, and I think they’re completely right about that. But I haven’t really seen anyone look at the sub themes depicted in the show around the acceptance theme.

Specifically how the owl house is really advocating for child autonomy. Specifically in the ways of discipline, showing that communicating and talking with children ends up being a lot more beneficial and effective than punishing them.

The most obvious example comes with the collector, where instead of talking to him, King’s dad punished the kid by putting him in essentially time out, for the actions of his siblings. Which he would’ve learned if he had talked to the collector. And then following that, every interaction before talking with Luz, has the collector being used or placated in some way instead of being treated like an actual child due to the amount of power he has. The titan trappers revering him as some sort of god, Belos manipulating him, and even king attempting to appease the collector, instead of really talking to him. Though for king it’s a bit more understandable. Even so, the show showcases the collector’s change only after he’s talked to like a person, and then shown why his views were wrong.

Luz, who’s the main focus of the show, has her character arc and journey centered around being punished for her not fitting in at school. And while, yes, some of Luz’s antics that were shown seemed to be legitimately dangerous, the real solution would’ve been to talk with her and teach her about safety and why bringing wild animals and fireworks into a school building is dangerous. It should have also been that Luz should be able to talk and negotiate with her teacher about what would be acceptable for her projects with her endless creativity. The solution was not to essentially punish Luz for being creative, and what that only did was make her feel worse about herself and more isolated from the people she thought would be on her side. And then we were shown in thanks to them and for the future, Camilla’s growth into understanding that not talking to Luz about this, and essentially forcing her into normality, was not the way to go about things.

And we see this theme again, with Willow forced into the abomination track because her parent’s thought that was what was best for her, until she was able to showcase her skills and switch to what she was actually good at. Alador realizing he missed a lot of Amity’s growth by not talking to her, and then making it up to Amity by letting her set the boundaries and reestablishing their relationship. Odalia being controlling and not listening to her children which lead to actively harming their social development, until she was confronted and then shut out. Belos manipulating Hunter, isolating him, and abusing him, not even listening to what he had to say. And all of these situations were made better and more bearable when they were given the chance to take charge and be heard.

All this, in an attempt to showcase that children can be vulnerable and malleable, but they are also smart and understanding. And instead of deciding what a child needs, it’s important to communicate with the child instead, asking what they need and listening to what they’re saying. And implementing that by guiding and supporting them, not attempting to control them to what someone else thinks is right.

Children are smart and observant, they just need to be taught how to communicate, and viewed and thought of as actual human beings.

In a way, the owl house is attempting to advocate for it’s audience, and that’s beautiful.

I love Chiyo- and I kind of headcanon her as a Witch of the Woods (Sands???) archetype- a bitter old woman who has sacrificed too much, experienced and committed more atrocities than anyone can imagine, and who knows the truth about what lies in the hearts of men to live among the villages anymore.

In my AU she's got a pretty dark backstory. Back in time when Villages were just getting established, women weren't allowed to be shinobi in the same capacity as men. There was too much warring and death among the clans to risk women, so they were only ever allowed to serve as spies or medics. (Chiyo started off as a medic).

And like any military/fascist dictatorship, serving the state was more important than anything else- so women who were kunoichi were given missions to steal and return with powerful bloodlines. Even before villages, this was a common fear among clans (which is why so many of them have protective measures and inbreed/arrange matches very carefully).

Chiyo was one such woman, who took a X-rated mission in her youth because she was told it would 'serve her nation'. There was a powerful bloodline whose Kekkei Genkai could harden sand to something akin to Steel- something Suna very desperately wanted.

Chiyo succeeded in her mission, but despite the veneer of 'serving your nation', when she returned, she was considered, in her words, "Just another whore."

Then when her son didn't manifest the bloodline- it was worse, but Chiyo was happy because that meant her son was HERS. (This is when she met Enji, and he saved her son's life at great cost- so Chiyo owes him a blood/life debt.)

Then the war came, and they needed women to fight so now serving the nation meant something different, and Chiyo became a full fledged 'shinobi' and turned her healing towards poison and death- especially when she had to fight the Salamander.

Then she sealed Gaara and that was the atrocity straw that broke the camel's back and she dipped out Suna and retired to an oasis. She's still a healer, but adamantly refuses to serve shinobi.

Once again, thank you so much for these asks and all the support for this AU?

#naruto #haruno sakura #granny chiyo #coven!sakura #nations always celebrate serving the military but no support for anyone who comes back #veteran's aid? what's that and we all know how they would see women like this #there's no more xrated missions in villages and its like a shameful secret they all gloss over #you never air the dirt out when you've gotta indoctrinate your next wave of children into child soldiers #also chiyo is a pretty cruel woman IMO #first thing she did when she learned Sakura stepped between two attacks was to laugh so hard she started crying #Chiyo has both HEAVY internalized mysogyny but also really wants to protect women- its a balancing act #queen of tough love throw em in the deep end no floaties #trial by firing squad #also chiyo just HATES the hypocrisy of being venerated as a war hero when its convenient for the nation- she just hates shinobi villages #thank u kishimoto for keeping Chiyo's backstory vague as hell so i can play #chiyo as an embodiment of female rage

i <3 bottle episodes. bottle episodes are so important <333 they have never let me down. a real true bottle episode can fix so many negatives from a show, i don't even care what else is wrong. if they can set down their plots for the episode and gather around for what really matters: worsties getting stuck in an elevator and/or a pregnant character stuck with another character who was very unlikely to deliver their baby prior to the bottle episode....... that's what i'm talking about!!!!! live laugh bottle episode <3

#worsties in this case are a starship captain with anxiety and several crying children #why did no one tell me tng had a stuck in elevator moment #that should have been the first thing i learned about JL

The reason I love Migi to Dali so much is because at first you think these kids are going to be cunning geniuses because of the shit they pull off...

But they're actually the dumbest kids on the fucking planet. They're only smart when it comes to making plans to fool others. They named their persona "Hitori" as in "one person." They can't do basic math. Migi can't recognize Dali when he's in a wig and a girl's uniform, even though THEY'RE FUCKING TWINS! They can't comprehend that their new mother wears wigs. They're so stupid and unhinged, and I love them so much.
