Sell Bruno now that you can still cash in some money from the sales. Accommodating him in the match squad is causing so much drawbacks to the club. We shouldn’t make the same mistake we made with Rashy. He doesn’t suit this system #FULMUN

In my first year at Uni, I sucked at interviews and it cost me many opportunities. Today, whenever I get to the interview stage of any application, I would most likely get in, and that’s because I learned the basics. You should learn them too. 1. MASTER YOUR ELEVATOR PITCH 🧵

Saw this tweet and I just had to say something. One of the biggest reasons why a child will keep asking for something even after you’ve said no and explained why, is simple. They’re used to getting their way. Whether it’s cheese balls, screen time, or snacks, many kids have learned that if they ask long enough or cry long enough, they will eventually get what they want. That’s not always because the parent is weak. It’s often because the parent just wants peace. Or they’re tired. Or they feel guilty. But here’s the problem. Children are incredibly observant. They study patterns. If your “no” has ever turned into a “fine, take it,” their brain records that data and uses it next time. Not to manipulate you, but because that’s what’s worked in the past. This is why your child can say “okay” and still go right back to asking. They believe persistence equals results. Now let me be clear. This doesn’t mean you’re doing everything wrong. But it’s a sign that some things need to be adjusted. And the earlier you fix it, the better. Here are a few things you can start doing that help: First, tie what they want to a task or reward. For example, instead of just saying no to cheese balls, say something like “After you help me clean up your toys, then you can have two more.” That way they understand that rewards are earned, not demanded. Second, use time-based promises. Tell them they can have it tomorrow after lunch or in the evening after homework. The key is to follow through. This builds trust, patience, and emotional regulation. Third, offer alternatives when you say no. If they can’t have cheese balls, suggest another healthy option or something else that feels like a choice. This helps them feel seen, and not shut down. Fourth, stay calm. Children don’t respond well to frustration or yelling. The more you stay composed and firm, the more they’ll begin to understand that begging won’t work. And finally, praise the moments when they accept a no without pushing. Say something like “Thank you for listening the first time. That made me really proud.” That way, you’re not just correcting bad behavior. You’re reinforcing the good. Hope this helps
