Whatâs your fantasy?
I wake up, my debt is all paid off, my bank account is full, my relationships with my family are healthy, and Iâm able to travel anywhere in the world.
reblog for this ultimate fantasy life to come true
I just finished babysitting my friendâs children, and she has most definitely mastered the no spanking/alternative discipline route. I always talk about taking it because I donât believe in abusing children, but Iâve never personally seen it in action by a Black parent. Her children are 2 and 5 and they are the kindest, nicest toddlers Iâve ever met. They listen to her because sheâs their mom and they automatically recognize sheâs important and she gives them what they want (love and affection and rewards). In return they like to clean for her and give her artwork and cuddles all of the time.
To get them to listen to her, she makes sure to listen to them and what theyâve got to say instead of telling them to shut up all the time. The 5 year old asked her a few months ago why you canât eat food that was on the floor after picking up food on the floor, and she explained it calmly and clearly. He asked 4 other questions after that and she answered all of them. He was satisfied and happy with the answers, and ever since he hasnât done those things. She lets them gush and gush about Hot Wheels or Team Umizoomi and engages with them and counts with them and everything, so they never feel alone or neglected enough to not want to obey.
My friend lets them make mistakes by themselves on the rare chance they donât listen so they can learn from them and let that be punishment enough. For example, the younger one weâve been telling not to go near the dog cage because he doesnât like dogs. He went near it a while ago, got his hand licked, freaked out, and hasnât been anywhere near it since. The board on the wall that she uses has a column for each boy horizontally, and vertically are all the traits she wants them to have, like being nice, listening to her and their teachers, eating their food, cleaning up, having manners, etc. They get a sticker whenever they do it for the day, and they lose all their stickers when they break a habit. Thatâs enough punishment for them, so they donât break it.
When they wake up, itâs cleanup time, or bedtime, she plays what she calls âmusical habitsâ. She puts on a playlist of their favorite songs (itâs like 20-25 minutes) that make them feel motivated, and they should be finished getting ready or cleaning by the time the last song is over. If theyâre not, they get a toy from their toy bin taken away or an Oreo from their snack bag taken out (aka eaten by her). But she hasnât ever gotten to that because they always finish. They donât even like hearing the consequences lol. And I just wanted to say I really enjoyed seeing good parenting by a Black woman that wasnât abusive or harmful to the childâs development, it gave me inspiration and hope. Just had to talk about it somewhere.
I wrote this post about a year ago. Since then, Iâve become the godmother to both of these babies, and they are STILL so well behaved. I babysit from time to time. Theyâre also enrolled in Montessori programs.
Sheâs now teaching them about mindfulness, Spanish, self care, and cooking. They have little yoga mats and practice breathing in and out with her every morning, and then they do affirmations together. I visited them a while back and they have a new board up! She created a system where theyâre challenged with the task to do something nice for each other or for someone else every week. With this challenge theyâre instructed to use their listening skills to figure out what that person might want or need, and then figure out how they should react. The only reward at the end of the week is a big hug and some snacks, and every month, she lets them have a movie day if theyâve done really well.
Sheâs also making them use their words when theyâre upset instead of grumbling in silence. Her oldest one was notorious for that. She made up a little saying to remind him: âMommy canât help if Mommy doesnât know.â Itâs forced him to explain why heâs upset and that gives them a chance to have an actual conversation about it. Now they talk about ANYTHING. If they donât feel like talking at that moment and they express that, sheâll lead them to their playroom and turn their favorite show on or let them meditate or draw until theyâve cooled down. She also accepts letters if they just didnât want to use their words. It was so good to watch.
By the way, I got many messages about this post asking me to ask my friend where she learned these techniques. She said that she wrote down all the ways her parents hurt, hindered, or stunted her developmental growth and then wrote down ways they couldâve approached it better or loved her better. That second list is her guideline.Â
I usually see people say theyâre never gonna treat their kids like their parents treated them yet end up doing it anyways. So this is encouraging⊠knowing that it is possible to be better than youâre parents.

imagine if you named your kid dad. just dad.
Actually thatâs just his nickname. His real name is [trucks honking], but everyone just calls him dad.
So I donât get texts of âgood morning beautifulâ but I do have a friend who spams me snapchats of her dog to wake up to, so whoâs the real winner here

whatâs really amazing to me is that people are so afraid of body hair on women that even in a shaving commercial they wonât show a hairy leg. they demonstrate the razor by shaving a hairless leg. they show their product being completely useless instead of showing leg hair. itâs just wild
The Milt Kahl Head Swaggle (Source: Cartoon Brew)
I love it when you can pick up an animatorâs quirks.Â
    Iâve read in old interviews with Milt Khalâs fellow animators that he did the swaggle to purposefully show off. Moving the head in 3-d space is an exceptionally hard thing to do but Khal upped the level of difficulty to a place many animators wouldnât go.     Not only are they all doing the swaggle youâll notice they are all TALKING while they are doing it. This is back in the days where you had to use a timing sheet to pace your animation and a head swaggle doesnât work if its too slow or too fast so he had to figure out the right speed so it looked natural while the character finishes what they have to say while not interfering with the distinct mouth shapes.      Not only did Khal do it without any shifting weight problems or timing issues he would often do it while moving the rest of the body. This isnât his signature move just because he was good at it.This is his signature move because he was one of the only people skilled enough to DO IT AT ALL.
Milt Khal was a MASTER.
