Any book or story recommendations about stopping when asked to do so by an adult or friend? Our 6yo tends to get really focused on things and not stop…but it’s also slipped into “cleverly” ignoring requests. It’s getting to be an issue at home and school and I’d like to work on it with him in a way that isn’t overly top down (“BECAUSE I SAID SO DAMNIT”)

He loves reading and to be read to, so stories that include this could be a big help if anyone has a suggestion.

This morning:

Daddy come see my poop. My poop is long and pointy.

The Gary Peterson acct is fake but really funny.

I like WOMEN!

Oh.

Why is this news, everyone dines sooner or later.

Very cool, didn’t know it could do that

I guess I don’t use either because no one I know does. A few friends and I have a signal group chat but other than that 🤷

My youngest continues to be super sweet to everyone. I love seeing the person he’s becoming.

Yeah our first slept with us until ~2.5. Started by having him do naps in his own bed with me sitting there. (This was during covid lockdowns). Then it was me sleeping with him at night and gradually transitioning into him getting to sleep without me being in the room. Really liked the book It’s Never Too Late to Sleep Train.

Oh damn thanks for pointing this out! Michael Rosen has written a bunch of great kids books. I got the audiobook (it’s like $2 on audible rn) to listen to with my kids and will look for a print copy.

Logging in to say:

• rest in piss
• fuck you Henry

Thanks!
