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.

actually heres an addendum

HG at least had a good concept and world building. Twilight also had potential to be good but botched it badly.

50 Shades is garbage.

@ The idiots bring up pedophilia you clearly didn’t read the books if you think it was a sexual. The way the bond works for the shifters is they become protectors for their bonded partner yes they love them but in whatever way they need at the time. So if the bonded partner is a baby the shifter is a nanny. This also doesn’t mean they’ll ever be a couple they could be friends forever.

That’s not much better tbh, I mean would you want to marry the person who was your father figure when you were young? I doubt it.

And the book even says you feel whatever love is appropriate for their age using father -> brother -> lover as a progression.

Idk whether to call that pedo or not but that’s still creepy af.

As someone that lived through the height of Twilight’s popularity (and hatedom), I can confidently say that most of the criticism revolving around Twilight was indeed because Edward was an abusive dick (and apparently checks most of the boxes for what constitutes as an abusive relationship), but it was okay because he was only doing it because he loved her. That was literally one of the biggest criticism of the series and I can’t believe that people honestly think that no one was talking about that. I wish I could find this Twilight hate site I visited a long time ago that made several points about Edward’s (and Jacob’s, I think) creepy behavior as to why the books were a piece of crap, not to mention the aforementioned creepy relationship with Jacob and Reneseme. Hell, there was a pretty popular meme floating around that went something like “Harry Potter taught me to be brave and stand up for what’s right. Twilight taught me how important it was to have a boyfriend”.

As for Hunger Games, the only major criticisms I saw was a) it was a rip off of Battle Royale (never read it or know anything about it, so I can’t comment on how accurate that is) and b) that Mockingjay was by far the weakest in the series (which I can agree with).

And then the 50 Shades author looked at it all and thought “imma do this exact same thing but this time MORE” and then get whiny and teary when someone calls her out on it
