when did kids stop asking 'why' after you answer and start just... accepting it? mine switched overnight and now i'm weirdly sad about itA dad spent a year documenting every ridiculous thing his kid said, turns out 'why' questions have a pattern that actually explains how toddlers learn.My kid asked why I was reading parenting books when I'm already a parent.. Fair point, I've been winging it the whole time.a guy tracked what his kids actually ate for a year and made a spreadsheet. turns out the "balanced diet" thing is way messier than it looks.mom friend just told me she lets her kids pick one "bad" thing to do daily so they stop sneaking everything. now her 7yo openly eats cereal for dinner twice a week and somehow this fixed the lying 💀
