Y’all I’m Dying! This Is Ben’s Journal Entry From Monday About Our First “Home School” Day. That Last Sentence

Candice Hunter Kennedy Report

You're trying to finish your report right before the deadline, but your kid is running around pretending to be a superhero. Or you want to sit down and watch some TV, but that's the moment you realize that your toddler broke it. Ah, the wonders of raising kids! It's a challenge, but there are things you can do so you can focus on your work.

For instance, Allyssa McCabe, a psychology professor at the University of Massachusetts, told The Atlantic that it's easier to keep kids busy during the workday without supervision the older they are. But for those readers out there who have young kids, don't panic just yet!

“For young children, independent play is tough. They really need social interaction. Parents will be tempted to hand over an iPhone or iPad or the like. This is understandable, but parents should also know that the younger the child, the worse this is for their language and cognitive development.”

Maybe I Shouldn’t Have Outsourced My Home-Schooling

Maybe I Shouldn’t Have Outsourced My Home-Schooling

Instead of making your kid sit surrounded with electronic devices all day long, it's best to go for something that will actually help with their development. Give them art supplies or Play-Doh to get them creating!

Meanwhile, Michelle Martin, a professor at the University of Washington's Informations School and the founder of a children's summer literacy program, recommended that parents play their kids some audiobooks.

You'll be able to focus on work and your child will be engaged and learning. And the best part? While your kid's listening to Harry Potter, you can sneakily listen in, too, when you're taking a break. Now that's a win-win situation if we've ever seen one!

I'm analysing the circle of toys like a crazy person and, if it doesn't work it's because all the green toys are in one corner but the rest of the toys are not color sorted. I've never summoned before buy the corners are there to place five things or five sets of related things on. like green toys, blue toys, yellow toys, red toys, white toys. Or soft, toys, squishy toys, hard toys, stretchy toys, noisy toys. Depending on which dark god of playtime they're after.

Mom has summoned the demon but forgot the salt to keep confined inside the circle. Better call Sam & Dean for help while you still can!

Nope, wrong symbol. This is a pentacle of protection, not summoning. Watch more Sam and Dean! Lol

It's not the strange way she has arranged her toys or what she is doing that has me concerned...I'm convinced by how perfect she made the star and circle that she is summoning a demon

That's not cute. Spiritual forces of death are real and want us to harm our children and want corrupt. Jesus said let the children come unto me and t ht at is the source of life for children.
