5yo; “Mommy, I think when I grow up, I might change my name to a grownup name because my name is a little kid’s name. Maybe I’ll use my middle name. My name is such a baby name! I want a grown up name when I’m a grown up.”

I try to support my 6yo when he’s frustrated. I listen to him and validate his feelings so he knows that it’s okay to be frustrated and the feeling will pass. I can tell what I’m saying is really starting to resonate with him when he says “booooorrriiiinnnggggg” and walks off.

The first generation gentle parent in me resisting the urge to say ‘that’s what happens when you don’t pick up your shit’ when my kid falls over a toy.

Just showed my toddler how to make purple Gatorade by mixing red and blue and he goes “that’s not real purple, though, it’s just mixed up red and blue” so good luck to his Kindergarten teachers.
