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.

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.

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.

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 10 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

I was expecting the baby to pee in his face or something. Why have you tricked me into feelings, internet? Why?

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] skulbuny@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Daily reminder my parents weren't that great at parenting.
