I think a great way to improve communication with kids (and adults) is to make every yes or no question a this or that question.

I started doing it when after brain surgery my husband had trouble forming responses to questions for a while, and realized that the habit was helping my students engage more truthfully with me.

Some examples:

Yes/No: “Did you clean up your room like I told you?”

This/That: “Did you clean up already, or do you still need to do that?”

Yes/No: “Are you going to sit quietly?”

This/That: “Are you ready to sit and do our quiet activity, or do you need some time by yourself first?”

Yes/No: “Are you doing anything fun for your birthday?”

This/That: “Are you having a party on your birthday, or are you going to relax?”

I think many children (and adults!) are averse to telling adults “No,” especially when a command is implied. (“Did you clean your room?” “Are you going to sit quietly?” Hmmm if I say ‘no’ I will be in trouble with the adult.) So they are actually pretty likely to just lie and say what they think you want to hear.

Presenting a this or that question provides an alternative to lying, a ‘no, but’ scenario where they are presented with the reasonable consequences of a No (“if you’re not ready to sit quietly, you cannot do our quiet activity with us yet.”)

"Tiffany “New York” Pollard — the queen of reality TV, the HBIC herself — is opening up like never before. In a new interview with "PinkNews," she shared why she resonates with being non-binary, saying, “Some days I may feel a lot more masculine, and some days I’m super feminine — and that’s okay… shoving me back in the closet is never going to be an option.” Tiffany went on to say, “If I didn’t have such a strong connection to the queer fanbase that I have, I don’t know if I would still be in the game… They keep the HBIC alive!”"

The Monarch of Meme was already queer, and we're happy to see her discovery. Black queer folk CONTINUE TO WIN 👑

Meet the Robinsons things I think about way too often.

I love this movie so much and have been fixating on it for like a year now, so here are some unsolicited thoughts of mine about it.

-How Lewis was so affected by the countless rejections from potential families that, never, in twelve years, did he ever think that there was a possibility that his birth mother might have wanted him until Mildred brought it up.

-How Bud and Lucille got to spend one more day with their son as a child.

-How guilty and hurt Franny must have felt after making Lewis the offer to adopt him and then taking it back right after it was revealed to her who he really was, knowing just how much her husband wished to hear that a family wanted him after being turned down so many times as a child, and having to take that hope away seconds after, making her husband's younger self feel rejected once again.

-How Lewis looks at young Franny when they meet at the science fair.

-How Lewis built the memory scanner to try and find out what his mother looked like, and when it finally works, we see Lucille.

-How Cornelius most likely had to wait 17 whole years to see his best friend again.
