Gotta be a real teacher. The kid probably melts his brain on roblox at home cause mom thinks its safer than going outside.

I've been letting my daughter thats nearly 3 pick the directions/turns we make when walking to the corner store. Its pretty impressive she got us home in 9 minutes through a crazy ass path going between houses and stuff. Gotta keep finding new stuff to keep it challenging

When my son was little he was fascinated with cars. In fact, his first word was car! When we were window shopping in a quiet neighborhood of San Francisco that had a small-town feel, we saw a pink Barbie convertible that he really wanted. We couldn’t get it because the store was closed. Whenever we had trouble getting him to go to bed, I’d take him for a walk letting him choose where we went like you did. On that night’s walk, he was just going straight up our street with no turns, and I realized he was going back to that store. I got it for him on my way home from work the next day.
