There’s an episode of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood that does a good job covering what to do about allergies. I don’t know if it’s available to stream for free, but there’s a book based on it - here’s a link.

There are lots of great picture books to help kids practice identifying and regulating their emotions. You might check out The Feelings Book, Today I Feel Silly, or My Many Colored Days for some good emotional vocabulary. You can also start talking about the different ways we can handle big feelings - you want to emphasize that all feelings are okay, what matters is how we act on them. If he's a fan of Daniel Tiger, I'm sure you know there are some great songs on the show that teach how to handle different emotions, and there are some companion books such as How is Daniel Feeling. You might also check out the "When I Feel..." series (When I Feel Sad, When I Feel Worried, etc). For anger, try Anh's Anger and its sequel Steps and Stones, or When Miles Got Mad. Each of these introduces different coping skills he can practice to handle his own feelings. You can try modeling them and verbalizing your own feelings to set an example.

Another good story, aimed at slightly older kids, is Moody Cow Meditates - which features the brilliant "mind jar", also called a calm-down jar or feelings jar. See these instructions (and some cool variations) for making your own (definitely recommend using a plastic bottle rather than glass jar!). The idea is you shake up the jar/bottle to get all those big feelings out, and then sit quietly watching until all the glitter settles. I also recently discovered a cool coloring book that teaches different emotion regulation strategies, loosely based on some guided meditations for kids. There are also some good meditation apps for kids out there, such as Stop, Breathe & Think for Kids and Sesame Street's Breathe, Think, Do.

Hopefully something in there is helpful!

The reveal last night went way better than expected. I had started having serious doubts and misgivings about going through with it starting midday. Panorama results weren't and wouldn't be back, and I had this fear that FIL would be a jerk and a half (long story, but he has opinions about just about everything, especially if it's related to money). But I'm glad I did, even though now I'm afraid I've jinxed it.

We had already planned to have dinner at my parents' house with my brother, my parents, DH's brother, and his parents (his sister lives way out of town now) as a kind of celebratory dinner for being done with the bar exam. I had taken the reveal gifts over during the day while my mom was picking stuff up for dinner. I wrapped them in large-ish kraft bags with yellow tissue paper and green ribbon. They looked quite nice! I should've taken a picture lol.

We got there fashionably late, but it was right after DH's family got there, so it was decent timing. We picked up a black and white cake from Whole Foods on the way there, and you should all get one because it was AMAZING. Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and there was a chocolate ganache on the top. So. Good. Anyway, I figured out a way to sneak the last two gifts in, and things were under way.

Everyone sat down in the den, and naturally we got on the topic of Disney World. So I used the opportunity to get the bags from upstairs, and I told them all that it was a surcee from WDW as a thanks for dealing with me for the past two months/three years. Everyone was convinced except my mom--she had sleuthed it out. MIL and FIL got these mugs, BIL got this mug (they're big coffee drinkers), my dad got an antique book (Tales of a Grandfather) from this store, my brother got the books Goodnight Moon and Night Night Little Tiger, and my mom got a board book of On the Night You Were Born (she's given that to my brother and me several times) and a little soft bunny.

BIL was the first to say something. He said, nonchalantly, "Uncle BIL." Then he got it. "Uncle BIL?" My brother saw his books and figured it out, but waited for the other responses. Mom knew immediately and was practically jumping out of her seat. MIL read her mug but thought we were giving it in advance (like we weren't pregnant yet). Then my mom told MIL, then she got it, then FIL got it. My dad was the last one to get it, though admittedly his was really subtle. But everyone was so sweet and so excited, and I'm really happy about it.

We're asking them to keep it quiet until after our next appointment, and then they can tell extended family and friends. We're also asking that nothing at all be posted to social media because we want to keep this as private as possible. I'm pretty sure they'll respect that, which makes me feel good. Only really worried about my dad blabbing when he's had too much to drink 😒

And now I realize this is longer than a birth story, but I felt like I wanted to write it all out to help me remember :)

Usborne "That's not my...." books were very popular with my 1 year old. They are short board books with bright, high contrast pictures and sensory integration. They give a parent a lot of teaching moments - colors, shapes, identifying animals or vehicles or whatever, textures, etc. We had about 10 of them and my son would bring them to me over and over to read.

My favorite thing in the world, which my son loved at 1 and still loves at 3, is basic wooden blocks like these (probbaly available cheaper, we got ours at a yard sale). Fine motor skills, building, balancing, creativity, shapes, counting... lots of developmental teaching there.

Another good thing for a 1 year old are push walker toys. Here's one that comes with wooden blocks.

Some UK-based picture book recommendations:

Animalia by Graeme Base is an alphabet book with tons of intricate drawings that'll keep kids occupied for hours.

The Dark by Lemony Snicket and Jon Klassen is very stylistically interesting.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr is a classic here in the UK.

Gorilla by Anthony Browne is a favourite of the children I teach, of all ages.

You Choose and Just Imagine by Pippa Goodhart and Nick Sharratt are brilliant to get children talking about all sorts of things.

I've got recommendations for older readers too, if you're interested.

Edit: I can't do hyperlinks.

> She gave him a black face because of his name, not the other way around.

It doesn't matter. The "Zwarte" in Zwarte Piet is clearly associated with his race. That's what people have associated it with for over 100 years.

It's ridiculous to claim that lack of ill intent is justification of keeping an outdated, offensive tradition. It doesn't matter if people had no ill intentions, they were unintentionally harboring and spreading ideas that had built-in racist assumptions and stereotypes which we should absolutely not be repeating to children in 2016.

This isn't unique to the Dutch, but the Dutch are the only ones refusing to modernize their folklore, which is why this story is always in the news and on Reddit. It's so weird how some people crazily insist on not letting this go. Have you heard of Little Black Sambo? There was no ill-intent in that book either, but it has since been revised significantly because it was full of racist tropes. The modern version is called The Boy and the Tigers. Identical story, racist tropes removed. See how easy that was? Culture preserved! And the bonus is that we can keep the original books and stories to help teach older kids about history.

Similarly, if you watch The Goonies as an adult, you will cringe at the uncomfortable, inappropriate depiction of Asian people, which has been revised in similar stories (Stranger Things, for example). It's a continual process of refinement that every other modern country seems to understand and work on.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/WTF

Little Black Sambo was "reclaimed" by the brilliant African American, artist Jerry Pinkney, and retold (by Julius Lester) as Sam and the Tigers.

u/chandalowe · 2 pointsr/tipofmytongue

I looked into it a bit further, and it is indeed in [Sam and the Tigers] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0140562885) by Julius Lester that Sam tells one of the tigers who is threatening to eat him, "If you do, it'll send your cholesterol way up."

The book is quoted here

I'd read this first. Tawny Scrawny lion was my favorite book as a child, I used to make my mom read it to me every night until she got sick of it and hid it from me. It's about a group of rabbits who bribe a Lion not to eat them in exchange for fish stew.

TL;DR It's okay to eat fish cause they don't have any feelings.

My kids. They used to have this book that all five would gather around me when I read it to them, called ABC Animal Jamboree, because I make sound effects and get really animated lol. It was ruined a while back and none of us could remember the name of it until a couple of days ago when I found it and put it in my wishlist. I'd love to have that bonding time reading it to them again! I'll go on my computer and link to it in a few minutes. My kids will always be my favorite people in the entire world!

Edit- link to the book

u/malikaj · 1 pointr/education

Not at all. It all depends on how your phrase it. Young children understand the concept of halving. Check out this book: The Lion's Share. The little 4 year old boy I nanny for loves this book. We've taken this concept into many different areas. Mainly about sharing things with friends, but hey! That's still the basis of fractions!

My comment had nothing to do with your argument.

It was about your formatting, which is atrocious, and a play off your username.

Here you go:

Oops, too much reality. Sometimes things are different in different places. The college dorm armchairs are in short supply in Sunderbans.

I support villagers defending themselves in this large area in India. Blanket international rules and laws suck, and harm indigenous people. I support all locals hunting however they see fit.

>Tigers have always been associated with magic and other manifestations of the divine, but nowhere on earth do tigers make their power felt more tangibly than in Sundarbans, the world's largest tidal delta and mangrove swamp on the Bay of Bengal. Here, in this mysterious, amphibious realm, tigers hunt men, killing dozens, even hundreds a year.

If tigers roamed Paris or Stockholm or Madison WI, people would be shooting them to defend themselves,too.

Edit: I guess I'm the only one here who has read books on tigers.

Edit 2: No exceptions for locals or indigenous people. Everyone here wants to murder local tribal people.

the only reason I know what a murder is, is because of this book. anyone else remember this from when they were kids? http://www.amazon.ca/Pride-Lions-Nicola-Morgan/dp/1550410776
