  • Its also crucial, when trying to teach these methods to a child, that you frame them as multiple options that can and will fail to help, and that the failure is of the method not the child.

    These techniques are akin to shoes. You go to the store to try on a bunch of different styles to see what fits, whats comfy, what looks good, and what you ultimately want to wear outdoors. You dont fail to fit a pair of shoes. They just arent your size.

    Trying a bunch of coping mechanisms and skills that dont work will feel like failure if framed incorrectly, and make it harder to try the next one. Kids dont always know how to change their frame of mind around these things, so its key to help make sure they dont think of it as another test to pass or fail.

















  • Thats a little bit got me hesitant to trust this.

    All this guy does is think about war and war threats. Does that make him good at reading the room about war tensions? Probably. Does it also mean he is hypervigilant and overanalyzing every single thing and at risk of reading intent and threat into things where it isnt? Also probably.

    Countries are always war tense somewhere, because someone is always pissing in someone elses pool. It doesnt always lead to war, especially when no one actually wants a war.
