teaching children that they are allowed to walk away and cool off if they are feeling overwhelmed might literally save their life as teens/adults
I am a preschool teacher.
This is my “alone zone.”
At any time of the day, if my kids are feeling stressed, they can go here to cool down. There’s stress toys, silly putty, bubbles, sensory bottles…there’s books and headphones to block out the loud noises.
The only thing they have to do is “check in” by putting their picture on which emotion they’re feeling so I know how I can help them when they’re ready.
Kids. Need. Space.
Kids. Need. Coping. Mechanisms.
Not. Time-outs.
And the sooner we as adults teach them that, the better off they’ll be as they grow.
we will watch naruto amvs, fall out boy, play DDR, and everyone will get a nametag with ~xXx*_ _*xXx~ borders on it. eyeliner and teased hair is mandatory
i remember in 2014 everyone was pointing out how creepy twilight was and how edward was constantly depicted as a stalker and the shit with jacob literally falling in love with a fucking baby and now its 2018 and people are trying to claim twilight was actually good all along and we only hated it bc of misogyny or whatever like… how did y’all get less woke
and let’s not forget the anti-indigenous racism and the fact that one of the main protagonists was a confederate soldier.
