@clhubes Kids score SO MUCH CANDY before they even go trick or treating. I'm pro-candy as a general rule, but yeah Halloween is a weeks-long affair.

@jbf1755 @bleach226 I have a new 3rd grader so I get it, esp coming out of COVID teachers need to make sure kids can read and write in print, no time to spend on a second way of writing they will barely use. But that's a good point! Will it be like reading in Latin one day or something? 🤔

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@2xKildCatherine @clhubes OR ARFID! Google tells me they actually took away the minimum age for the dx in an update of the DSM but like...every kid under the age of 5 would have ARFID if it could be clocked via Tweet.

This is such a good article! I feel it big-time as not a creator/journalist but as a news consumer. I've found so many interesting voices/conversations here and yet Twitter is less usable by the day. I don't want to subscribe to a zillion substacks so wah wah what do I do?!?

@JessicaRaeO45 @lbee329 @clhubes @katratta This whole conversation is perfection. Y’all are my people.

@hey_itsme_jessi @agileyvonne @starkiller1453 @AKotsolis @missmulrooney @TwiggyVi I was terrified when I saw my kids school uses dojo (for all the above reasons) - but we have yet to have a teacher that uses the points section. It’s all messaging, video/photos, reminders.

@RottenInDenmark @PhilipTKingston Woah. Years ago I saw a family member doing this (calling the sports desk to check the score) and I was MORTIFIED. I had no clue others did it too

@MrsPA_C My kids LOVED turning the knobs on the oven. That’s how I learned they make baby proofing covers you can snap over them. (The oven knobs, not the children)

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@khavah @clhubes 100%. Also (in my best moments) when it’s like that, I try to double down on words of affirmation because that’s when they (ND kids esp) most need to hear “love you and you’re a good kid w a good heart, always” imo

Not me watching a #GoldenGlobes acceptance speech and getting a spoiler for something I’m currently watching. Been trying so hard to avoid spoilers. I’ll never learn!!!

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@clhubes My kids: {random science fact}
Me: did you learn that at school? Or…
Kids: Dinosaur Train!!

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@clhubes I reject the premise. As long as you don’t feed them like, jack and coke, it’d not bad parenting. But. Hawaiian rolls, pie & ice cream. (5 year old counts as a toddler yes?)

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@bleach226 Just finished ep 3 I think

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@bleach226 I'm halfway through and I can't bring myself to watch more, like horrified cringe? Do the podcasts help allieviate the "hands over eyes emoji" factor?

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@elizobrien @karenkho Any brands you recommend? I only know Bombas in the “nice” category.

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

Just realized Twitter is making me feel hopeful. Think that’s a sign I should absolutely shut it down. I’ve been here before.

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@bleach226 I think we need a former-current group chat for photos...and gossip

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@mollyfleck @clhubes This!...is basically what my house looks like now, complete with children not eating thier dinner.

[Hallie @HallieAviva]

@clhubes They do not (or didn't, back then). My dad, born and raised in New York, living in California since 1980, would buy jars of duck sauce on every visit back to Brooklyn because he could not get it in San Diego.
