“Louie recommends parents transition kids slowly”
Video a couple of weeks ago teacher announcing to class last day for masks.
Kids screamed with joy.
The chance of death is a considerable child development item to be covered, much more than the chance of the super slim minority with hetero Arousal disorders.
That illness, that war, that conflict, that acts of high speed transport, that lack of exercise, that lack of medical research, that lack of medical rigor, that lack of joy are killers of humans should be a teaching moment that parents and teachers must consider.
At least for the foreseeable future, Everyone dies and that the joys of life are interactions with other humans much more of a civil society resource for individual gain than acquisition of wealth or youtube followers.
A entire series of children need time to interact, a set of teens need to know how to fail in face to face relationships and why coupling isnt just swiping left or right. There is a group of 18-25 year olds who have not crashed and burned in an attempted hook or had a chance to meet that friend of friend who was the right fit for their heart.
We all need to get out a fear box and be limited only by the physics and time of a life. Risk taking is more than free solo and jet packs, it is about going out with friends and meeting their friends. It is about having a shitty relationship so the next one feels so much better.
Life is about personal daily failures and successes more than participation trophies, follower counts and championships.
