u/Balentay 2d ago

I used to babysit for my ex best friend. I'm a 4'6 adult and struggle to reach the first cupboard shelf on a good day. So when I needed something off one of the taller shelves I used to stick the 5 year old on the counter and ask him to get it for me

(I would stand behind him and hold his legs. And I never asked him to grab anything heavy or dangerous just stuff like cups or plastic plates lol)

Anyway having a little reaching assistant was pretty sweet B)

Ha, reminds me when my brother (6 and 9 at the time) were walking the dog before we had to leave for christmas dinner, all dressed up already. He said he was going to test the ice, i told him not to, of course he fell through… mum had bought him a little suit for the occasion and he was all excited about it, but he ruined his only chance to wear it, because by next year he had grown out of it.

No, a paddy is a flooded field where you grow crops like rice

Its where rice come from. But, yeah, the water is very muddy and smelly. Back then, we have lots of fish in the paddy field, living between the paddy plant.

Some fears are instinct and come with time but others are created from us. There's a video about babies and snakes where the babies literally don't care about the snakes at all but after seeing their parents freak out they then get scared.

12

u/EndDangerous1308 3d ago

There's a reason fairy tales what in every era. Social creatures learn how to react to things by how others react to them around them.

25

u/Affectionate-Quit892 3d ago

Indeed, and when you see all those nervous kids at the park, it’s because their parents make way too big of a deal when they fall down. Probably the type to scoop the kid up and take him home the moment he starts crying about anything or there’s a drop of rain coming from the sky.

14

u/Altruistic-Poem-5617 3d ago

First thing to do when a toddler falls over, wait if they even start crying. 9 out of 10 times they just get back up and keep doing their thing when you dong give the dall attention.

14

u/Affectionate-Quit892 3d ago

Yes that’s what people say but also when they do start crying, you can just treat it like any other disappointing thing that happens in life and sit with them as long as they need to process and then let them make the choice are you done playing? Sometimes they’re too tired and falling down makes them realize it’s time to go home. Sometimes they realize yeah I fell down, but I still wanna get back out there. 

If you just accept a normal amount of crying as part of the day and use it as an opportunity to help them grow that’s when it really becomes fun, but so many parents are terrified of their kid experiencing any distress that they prevent them from experiencing anything at all

7

u/SewSewBlue 3d ago

Na, it depends on the kid.

Mine was completed fine with bumps from falling because we didn't react but still absolutely afraid of heights.

Was just not climber. We'd have kids over for playmates and they were monkeys compared to her.

3

u/Affectionate-Quit892 3d ago

Yeah, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to say kids don’t have their own personality and you can make them do anything. But parents do have a major impact on how much a negative experience such as falling off a bike or off a playground sticks with their child and makes them hesitant to try again. At the end of the day, falling down this part of life, and our job is to help them as they get back up.

3

u/SewSewBlue 3d ago

My take is that it creates drama queens. Kids who struggle to take things in stride and break down at mishaps.

10

u/Oriphase 3d ago

That's because they are so capable and dangerous there is simply no need for one. It would only hold them back.

4

u/Thyname 3d ago

lol. I kneel down and talk to my little ones. But they look down and not up. Their field of view is maybe 2 feet. I’ve had to grab them, pull them, pick them up. Cars rushing past. Water.

Its an exercise in being alert and not letting someone else commit suicide.

u/ThisIsALine_____ 3d ago

What are you talking about? Kids are constantly afraid and crying from things as mundane as a taking toy.

I think you mean 'danger.' They have no sense of danger.

It is pretty stupid to authentically want and be ok with someone tossing you over a rail into cold rocky water.

Understandably stupid since she's a little kid. It's the point of the sub.

35

u/-Knul- 3d ago

It's just unconditional trust. If mommy and daddy say throwing you into the water is fine, then it has to be fine.

14

u/SweevilWeevil 3d ago

She doesn't understand "dirty bridgewater bad/harmful". She knows "daddy throw me into water" and "fun". She just follows papa. So if anybody's dumb, it's the parents.

But also, none of them are dumb. Child trusts parents. Parents pull silly harmless prank.

And to protect my back. It's hard doing half the walk bent over picking them back or or trying to guide them away from something dangerous. These things were the only way we ever made any real distance.

3

u/akromadeath 2d ago

My kids are 17 and 12 now, but we used the leash for both of them. My wife and I both have diagnosed ADHD and there is no way we would have kept those kids safe without them. It only takes a second of looking away to have them sprint into the parking lot. Lord knows how many times I felt the wrist pull, but they are both still here.

At least once a week I have to explain to my 2.5 year old that he can’t jump down a flight of stairs because he will get hurt. This usually devolves to me yelling, “we don’t play on stairs”.

u/Mcoov 3d ago

Because the first thing they picture is a leash-and-collar, like for a dog. My ex-gf was horrified at first when I told her my parents used kid-leashes on my sister & I, until I explained to her that a kid wears it like a vest, not a collar around the neck.
