@jjmann17 No streaming. It takes attention away from the kids. They have enough time when they are ignored by people looking at phones/tvs. Do all you can to encourage caregivers to interact with the kids.
@_nomadic_soul If we are known by our fruit, could it be there are more pretenders than true followers of Christ? Those looking in from the outside are getting tripped up by the multitude of pretenders.
@MiranDuh_a Maybe a new job that incorporates creativity and can pay the bills would be an option till Etsy gets sustainable. Anything in SW where you can do craft therapy? Teach adults how to increase income through Etsy? No job should feel endless, you’re too young for that 😊
