very wholesome, 10/10 would recommend.
This was on the door to my office before my life ended in 2018.
Thank you for making me remember and cry.
Don't want to assume too much but I'm sorry for your loss.
It’s pretty fascinating that babies are largely the same across big timescales and just learn the culture of the time. They are ready to learn “utopia”, we just have to figure out how to teach it.
This so wholesome... <3
Haha, that's so far from reality though. Dad is talking about boring things again, I will cover my ears and scream.
Children are often a mirror to our true selves. My daughter is fascinated by the world, and loves learning. She's a sponge for new knowledge. The only limitation is building up the layers of knowledge, to understand what you are trying to teach.

Woah, that was a good roast.
My 6 year old loves to learn about math, sciences, a few other subjects to a lesser degree, plus practical stuff, like driving/traffic behavior. He mainly likes biological sciences and astronomy, but some physics and engineering.
Must be nice
I don't know how much is innate and how much we fostered, but we read a ton with him from a very young age and made it into little quiz games and fill in the blank questions. He's always liked knowing the answers. My 3 year old is less interested, but I think she'll absorb a lot just by being around her brother. We do read to her, of course, but she chooses different books than the 6 year old does (and even did at 3).
My exact thought reading the comic, young ppl would not like that.
Very unexpected for Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. A nice surprise for the morning.
I've had this very exact thought. I think the urge to tell the story of the world is parental instinct.
Whenever the kiddos ask a question, I don't stop answering and describing until they get bored... Sometimes beyond that.
I have the same urge, but rather to be a teacher/mentor than a parent. Too bad the US doesn't want to pay teachers what they're worth, or I'd strongly consider a career change.
I've had the exact same thought and it's not just in the US. Teachers are woefully underpaid in general. I think a part of the problem is that there's so many teachers that it would very expensive for society as a whole to give them a higher salary. I would totally do teaching if it paid better though.
Oh well done. Now I'm feeling warm and fuzzy.
I was expecting the baby to pee in his face or something. Why have you tricked me into feelings, internet? Why?
I feel like my knowledge would be too basic. I’d get the gist of it but not well enough to replicate and they’d just humor me bc they'd think I’m special.
I run up against that with my kiddos, so I just show them how to get answers and how to learn. When they get older, I'll teach them more about vetting sources and sussing out misinformation. I already have taught them as much about that as I can for their age.
daily reminder i will die alone.
I've already resigned to the fact that I will probably die alone in an apartment not to be found for weeks because no one checks in on me other than my parents. I won't kill myself, but I'm not good at socializing
Most people aren’t good at things they don’t practice. But lots of people get really good at things they weren’t good at.
Daily reminder my parents weren't that great at parenting.

Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.

🏴☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.

Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
