a young boy sitting on a swing in the woods with text overlay reading 10 things we forget are completely normal in childhood
320K views · 40K reactions | Let’s normalize childhood. Not the polished version. Not the quiet, tidy, easy-to-manage kind. But the real thing. Here are 10 things we forget are completely normal in childhood: 1. Being loud 2. Making messes (a lot of them) 3. Moving constantly—wiggling, jumping, spinning 4. Taking forever to do simple things 5. Having big emotions over small problems 6. Wanting to do it “by myself!” 7. Interrupting when you’re mid-sentence 8. Asking the same question 10 different ways 9. Needing connection more than discipline 10. Learning through play, not performance If your child is doing these things, they’re not broken. They’re not behind. They’re becoming. #letkidsbekids #liveleaflearn #HomeschoolMom #Homeschooling #childhoodunplugged #gentleparenting #c

217K views · 27K reactions | Notice anything missing from your Google calendar lately? ‼️ Comment INCLUSIVE for a shoppable link to this book list. I’ll send it straight to your DMs ‼️ All of the featured calendar observances are no longer displayed on Google’s calendar. Google claims it removed these calendar observances last year for apolitical reasons, but this combined with Google’s rollback on DEI policy and decision to change the Gulf of Mexico’s name to Gulf of America in their map application makes it seem like there’s an alternative agenda. 📚Luckily, you can still celebrate, share, and learn about these holidays and observances with your littles through these featured picture books. Help create the inclusive world and future your littles deserve to live in. *Also, if you fee
