Yum! I do this with tortilla chips crushed slightly and let them soak in the melting butter in the pan while it warms up. Same thing in reverse mostly. Delicious.

If that ladybug makes it out, it’ll have one hell of a story to share with its fellow bugs.

Sounds like a great writing prompt actually.

This right here. Every kid is different and parents should know what they need and be allowed the freedom to choose what’s right for them.

We have a 11 and 13 year old and neither are capable of disconnecting. I mean literally. They will skip sleep, meals and restroom breaks if given that level of freedom. So we have time limits. Reasonable ones in my opinion but still limits.

Also, I work in tech and one of the kids is extremely savvy at pushing boundaries and getting around my security , so I make it a game and give them the freedom to break limits in a controlled environment. This builds trust and teaches them at the same time.

Trust but verify and provide what’s best for your own kids.
