If it's just two kids: Figure out who is less motivated and stop that one. (Teacher colleagues used to say, "Get the little one," but I found that sometimes the little one was much more into it and may have started it.) Usually the other one stops when an adult steps in bodily because there is Absolute Hell to Pay if you hit an adult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the gentle parenting people barely believe in natural consequences, and definitely not punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the gentle parenting people barely believe in natural consequences, and definitely not punishment. I taught in a rough middle school... assaulting a teacher means parent conference, suspension, possibly a criminal charge, and delay in getting your driver's license (state law). At home, presumably with younger ages... I mean, however gentle the parenting is, at that point things have gone off the rails, and whatever led to the conflict has to be addressed. The kids are not necessarily going to love the level of solution I would implement if conflict has repeatedly become violent. (E.g., None of our solutions to the [video game or whatever] conflicts have prevented you from hitting each other and even me! We're going to take 60 days off from using them while we remember how to treat one another, and I hope we will be ready to try again then.) That's a reset rather than a punishment, but for kids who are attached to the item, they might find it intense. Now back to our regularly scheduled memes....

The song says "my milkshake brings all the boys to my yard" and the picture is of a bunch of buoys in the yard. It's just a pun.

HomeAgain Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 9 hours ago, TechWife said: I still don’t get it. Possibly a miscommunication? Some areas have changed the pronunciation of 'buoy' (boi) to 'bu-ee'. Yet 'buoyant' is still 'boy-yant', so the original pronunciation remains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking if I set up at the edge of a table in the library near the main thoroughfare...) Yes. Yes I do!

A lot of people weigh themselves in pounds and stones but cook in grams and litres. We talk about driving in miles and that's what the road signs say, but petrol is priced in litres. Some of this is generational - schools only teach metric and conversion factors are rarely mentioned - so apart from the street signs, we'll be largely metric in a few decades.
