🎨🇵🇷 This week, my mom and I have been in charge of the arts and crafts station for Second Union Church’s VBS. Through our painting activities and other activities, it’s been fun getting to know a lot of the kids who signed up and some of the volunteers from the church and elsewhere. It’s also been awesome getting to reunite with some of the kids who participated in the camp we put together two years ago. On and off, I have been having flashbacks to that first summer and running the church’s Summer English Camp.

So, this just gave me a heartwarming feeling today. As some may know I work as a martial arts instructor, and we teach all ages, from the very young to elders.

There's this kid, like 6 or 7 years old who was always a great kid, good manners, doesn't make much of a fuss in class, a bit shy perhaps. Anyway, today I was told he was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome (the term isn't really used anymore, it's consider to be within the autism spectrum, and it's the same thing that I have).

When I heard that I had a very warm heart feeling. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because we share something, maybe because I feel like I can help this kid. Maybe it's because I know how much knowing it has changed my life and I'm glad he got to know so early.

Anyways, I don't know how much I will really be able to help him, but I kind of just want to say to him "It's okay kid!" "Everything will workout just fine!" "You're not alone" "I'm here too!" 🦇♥️🐦

The Musk tweet was absolutely spot on. These last 2 years firmly moved me iut of the Liberal camp. Like take abortion, I may not agree with the act but when it was rare leagal and safe I understood it. Now in my home state they are literally proposing bill that doesnt count an infants death as murder? Never mind that I dont agree with full term abortion but seriously infants?? So now I have to land firmly in a ban after 15 weeks because I am scared how far are you taking this where there are no questions asked in a 6 day old baby dies of neglect.

Even the parental acts bill. Listen I wouldn't have cared if any teacher said look here is my wife, if she's a women too. Like I teach my children that. However they again pushed it and now you want to give them hormone blockers and tell them they can change sexes without telling me?!?! So now I am firmly in the camp of you know what leave everything out of the classroom, religion ,straight marriage gay marriage, politics. All of it. You teach my children for 9 months, thats it. They don't need to know shit about you. Teach math!! I promise no teacher has my childs interests at heart more then me. My child doesn't belong to the Government.

So again I'm getting pushed into the conservative side because the tent is bigger. We may not agree on everything but at least we compromise.

Thank you, Anon! I feel the same way!

I have 3 gay 1st cousins and two gay 2nd cousins. One has his masters in teaching. One trans woman friend likes her penis. One that wears makeup and still likes his penis.

It's child abuse to give a child hormones, period! You won't know until the child knows which way they want to go. That takes time.

The reason why they are going strong with this is that they want less of you. No breeders!

Did you know you can't be gay in China? What do you think they would do to these people?

Teach math, science, and English and shut the front door or quit. Nobody gives a rat's ass who you're sleeping with and certainly don't want you to teach my grandkids that garbage!

Love, JD 😜💋

4 Ways to Teach Personal Finances to Your Kids

I received a question from a reader about teaching good money habits to their children. This is becoming a concern for a lot of parents. Question My wife and I have done a better-than-decent job of saving and investing our money so far. We work hard and use our credit cards wisely. We don’t spend money frivolously. But I’ve noticed that, as our kids mature, we’ve started some unnecessary…

People be like “working with kids is easy” but then I get a kid who is 8 and doesn’t know what a tree is, or a goose, or whatever thing that kids know from fairy tales and stuff. Kids who only speak in freaking swear words because that’s what they hear from their parent, who in turn act like they know nothing about it.

It’s not even the kids, but the freaking parents who make this job so much harder than it has to be sometimes.

Homeschooling Away!

In addition to my personal studies, I am finding myself staring down the decision to homeschool my daughter for at least Junior Kindergarten.

Here in my area of Canada we have Junior and Senior Kindergarten as optional school years, with mandatory school starting for 1st grade the year your child turns 6. That means that JK is the year your child turns 4.

In our situation, my daughter turns 4 December 30, and in talking with the schools in our areas we've found out that JK and SK are combined classes. This means that our 3.75 year old could be starting school with 5.75 year olds. She would turn 4 December 30, and kids with January birthdays would be turning 6.

My husband and I (and his mother who provides daycare) discussed things and decided that was too much of an age/development gap for our comfort. Thus, we have decided to homeschool for JK.

In looking at all the lovely lists of "how to tell your child is ready for kindergarten" my daughter can do everything except physically write her name, though she can type it on the computer. She knows upper and lower case letters (and not just the alphabet song), shapes, colours, numbers (she loves the counting to 100 song), animals, and is even starting to understand addition and subtraction.

However, she needs to learn to follow directions better, adhere to a schedule, learn days/months/weather, and get more social interactions with peers (thank you Covid for that set back)

Since JK is mostly play to learn, I had a learning curve too.

To put it bluntly: I'm old. Due to this, my brain says that learning is done with books and worksheets, evaluated by tests and projects. The level of knowledge that she has seemed to me to fit in with this, and I tried to start a 'preschool journal' where I would make little worksheets and try to get her to fill them out.

She got bored quick.

I finally realized that I needed to follow her lead in a way. She needs better fine motor skills to help with her ability to write, but she wasn't overly interested in colouring. So I got a bunch of pony beads and she spends ages sorting, pretending, and moving them from container to container.

Then I wanted to try and get her to understand math and got little puzzles that teach addition and subtraction. I had to pull my expectations back and understand that at this point she just needed to count the number of items and match it to a written number. Eventually she would understand the separation of the items and that the cross in the centre meant addition.

She wanted to draw faces on her chalk board and decided that the hair would be numbers. So she had me draw the number, then she tried... right there she was learning through play.

Changing my brain from printables, worksheets, sitting at a table and writing stuff down, to following the play my daughter wants to do and adding learning into it, that took a while. I'm getting there though, and looking forward to seeing what the next year looks like.

i taught a baking class for 12 year olds today and we made your garden variety chocolate chip cookies, but i’m a big believer in Questioning Everything and the who/what/where/why/when/how behind things, so the first part of the class was purposely letting the kids do things the wrong way, to show and explain why we do things the way we do.

“why do we bake cookies at 180 for 9 minutes when we could do 400 for 2 minutes?” -enter the godawful lump of coal with a still gross wet and uncooked inside

“why do we have to scoop out little cookies instead of doing the whole tray?” -ok well that one you can technically do if the spread is even. you just end up with one giant, structurally unsound cookie. “PLEASE CAN WE MAKE GIANT COOKIES” (we did make 1 giant tray cookie)

we talked a lot about why consistency is important, but i don’t think it really hammered home until i said “okay everyone gets ONE cookie, that’s fair, right?” and then handed out cookies of hugely varying sizes. + baked one fat lump of a cookie that still wasn’t done at the 9 minutes, vs the regular one i put in that came out charred by the time the first was actually done.

we also made a row of cookies where each one had one single differing ingredient omitted, like a cookie with no flour, or a cookie with no butter, and laid them all out on a single tray to bake together to see how each ingredient affects the outcome.

two of the little girls added cocoa to their cookie doughs until it matched the colour of each others skin to make best friend cookies, and that almost made me tear up a bit 🥺

got briefly distracted (...for over half an hour...) talking about how eggs form when someone cracked an egg and it had 2 yolks

expertly tolerated being asked how old i am (just turned 31 the other day) which was immediately followed by asking if i watched the moon landing live on tv

was so focused on keeping track of all the kids that in the end i forgot to make a cookie for myself, but it’s ok because one of the girls gave me this
