If I’m correct, this is from the article “list of common misconceptions” which happens to be one of my favorite Wikipedia articles

kids also just want to feel understood. whenever a kid’s scared of something, I think it’s our instinct as adults to tell them it’s not scary, there’s no reason to be scared, etc. but to a scared child, that reassurance means nothing. they’re scared, so telling them that’s the incorrect feeling doesn’t really accomplish anything.

instead, I often find success telling them “this scares me too, and this is how I handle feeling scared,” and then I give them some mental tools.

It works ALMOST every time. Example: when a kid’s afraid of bugs, I say “ew me too! They’re sort of creepy! What scares you the most?” Then when they tell me (the legs, the eyes, etc.), I tell them a cool fact, or I try to make the feature seem funny.

It doesn’t have to be true. I’m not actually afraid of bugs. The point is validating the emotion while teaching the child that it’s possible to exist and get on with things even while feeling the unpleasant emotion.

I’ve found some kids even have a natural want to comfort others, which can work too. During a thunderstorm, I can say “you’re afraid of thunder? Me too! Will you hold my hand? I think that will make me feel better. What will make you feel better? What about watching a movie?” Then I tell them how much better I feel being together watching our movie, and I thank them for being brave!

I think kids get a lot out of just feeling like we’re in this together. When the assumption is that adults know and can control everything but for some reason refuse to acknowledge and destroy things that scare them, the world must be so confusing. I’m not a psychologist or anything. I’ve just spent a lot of time working with children, and I get a lot of mileage out of basically just letting a kid know that grown ups feel and experience the same things they do, and that we can navigate it together.

JUST some thoughts.

The captions are also really cute, although they mostly describe what’s in each photo:

Bulbasaur: Somehow, nomming on my clothes… has become a weird habit of theirs.

Venusaur: That hasn’t changed now that they’ve grown, but they’re very gentle.

Charmander: It’s my first attempt, but I made a plushie so that he wouldn’t get lonely.

Charizard: That plushie seems to be his favorite even now.

Squirtle: Squirtle’s a bit timid and hides behind me at the smallest things.

Blastoise: Looks like they’re scared of the first Pichu they’ve seen. You’re not really hiding!

you know, life doesn’t have to be competitive. you don’t have to get in the very best university; you don’t have to get the highest paying career there is. you don’t need to compare and compete with everyone else in the world. you need to do what’s right for you. you need to relax, take a breath, and say ‘what do i want, for myself, to live as i want to’. and, if that involves high ambitions, then that’s fine. because you chose those ambitions on what you desire as an individual, and not on what is expected in order to succeed. let’s be ourselves this year.

This was the crossword puzzle in the New York Times yesterday. 

Tausig’s crossword is a so-called Schrödinger puzzle, named for the physicist’s hypothetical cat that is at once both alive and dead. In a Schrödinger puzzle, select squares have more than one correct letter answer: They exist in two states at once. “Black Halloween animal,” for example, could be both BAT or CAT, yielding two different but perfectly correct puzzles. Only 10 such puzzles have now been published in Times history.

It’s the theme of Tausig’s puzzle, though, that makes it special. Four entries in Thursday’s crossword can include either an “F” or an “M.” Both are correct; neither is wrong. For example, “Part of a house” can be either ROOF or ROOM. The long “revealer” answer, tying those select entries together and spanning 11 squares smack-dab in the middle of the puzzle, is GENDER FLUID.

This puzzle, with “M”s and “F”s that aren’t fixed, is a masterful blend of subject and structure. “It potentially really evokes what gender fluidity is, which is not moving back and forth between two poles, but actually not being committed to either pole, and potentially existing in many states at different times,” Tausig said.

This is … really cool.
