Also "leave the first time she frightens you". It's not always the man.

I'm amazed how many adults can't bring themselves even to admit that they were wrong to a child, much less apologize for what they did.

Cooking is art, baking is science.

I just posted this on my Facebook 3 days ago, after I saw it on one page.

That's very wise!

THIS!!!!

This is super important. I understand that people are scared of being judged, but lying could lead to big problems. And chances are, the doctors probably aren’t going to judge you since they see odd things all the time.

And don't give tablets to babies.

My son sometimes asks for the "TV words" but we know what he means. I have heard this several times.

You know what else helps them learn to read? Picking up a damn book and spending an hour reading it with them.

I learned how to read before kindergarten because of this. INSIDE MY HEAD

They also helped me to learn English! Some accents can be hard to understand, subtitles make it easier

No tablets or TV until 18 months at least!

I can conquer! My mom has an auditory processing disorder so she uses subtitles and I have had a really high reading level for a long time

I spoke 4 languages by the age of 14 thanks to Flemish television subtitling instead of dubbing. 3 of them mother tongue level. French speaking part of our country dubs which results in many of them only speaking French and if they do get the chance of learning another language their pronunciation is usually so bad that they are difficult to understand. Subtitles should be more available, definitely!

It's helpful for learning different languages too. I'm learning Spanish and subtitles are a great thing.

It will also make them not get upset when hard of hearing people want to watch a movie with them. Seriously Josh, I just want to watch a movie with my brother.

I spent a huge amount of time reading to my son, starting when he was just about six months old. As he got older, I would have him look at the words while I was reading to him and he learned to read more or less effortlessly. He was reading on his own by the time he was two years old and at nearly 18 now, has a strong love of reading.

i watch tv with subtitles on and i read my e-textbooks with "read aloud" on

You wouldn't answer an adult's joke even if you knew the punchline, or at least most people wouldn't. There's a broader issue of paying kids the same respect that we pay adults.

Unless you drive a BMW and haven't paid for them as an extra.

or cuts your hair and shaves your beard. just don't.

Also, the time you spend sleeping is not wasted time. Your body needs it to rest, your brain needs it to process and sort out information and experiences.

Handshakes and good intentions mean nothing in a court of law.

I've never even tried a cigarette. My friends in high school offered me one quite a few times, but I always said I don't want to. Because "No, Thank you" is a valid answer. I said, I'm not judging you for smoking, but I don't have to smoke to be friends with you. Good friends understand this.

And the custodial staff. And the kitchen.

Hahaha, I actually used it but I just couldn't go, even in dream, my body knows something is odd.

I wish more people would see it this way. It breaks my heart to see pets suffer because their human can't let them go. It's not fair, they don't even understand. I realised this when my senior dog had cancer and I made the decision to let her go, and my older colleague (who herself had a long and hard battle with cancer) said to me "Thank you for not letting her suffer, this is what she would have wanted."

Within reason, yes. That being said, people who love you may be trying to pull you out of MLM schemes, cults, or cesspools of fake news. In those situations, they really are trying to help you cut ties, and it's reasonable for them to discourage you from letting MLMers/cultists/fake news weigh in on your leaving. That being said, they should 100% be in favor of you talking with neutral third parties, like other friends, a therapist, librarians, your doctor, even random strangers.

I love you Bored Panda friends. I wish you all great Holidays :)

I never expect discount from a friend for something, I only ask them to do it well.

If a kid ever hands you a telephone, you eat it like a banana.

“Why is this position open?”

yeah! it took a while for me to admit i liked a lot of things, especially irl, because i was afraid that people would quit being friends with me. turns out, a lot of people share my weird interests!

I wish I was a shark.

I would offer a hug. A big tight hug

Just don't dwell on the past, regret nothing, it can't be changed and live for the now.

Its been two years and I still wait for the person who sent me an email saying that they will send proof of weird porn I had been watching to everyone I know if I didnt transfer money within the next 48 hours after opening the mail. I dont even watch porn so I was really excited to see what they had found.

SPF 30 or higher

Swap events are great because they allow you to directly exchange something that is worthless to you for something valuable while the people you're swapping with are getting just as good a deal.

Every time you drink water, you are 3 days away from death.

I would take it further and say 'sleep on it'. Literally.

And what you learn doesn't necessarily have to be useful. It's okay to learn how a nuclear reactor works just because it's interesting. It's okay to spend close to 2 hours listening to a documentary on bloody queuing if that keeps you entertained. Not everything you learn has to be a skill, just a new fact here or there will keep your brain healthy.

I am not sure I like this. First: It places the responsibility on the victim. Never a good idea. Second: I think you totally underestimate the persistence of especially kids. When bullies want to get a reaction out of you, they will. No one has that kind of self control. They just wear you down. You can walk away from a stranger in street most times, but bullies will literally follow you around. Advice like that just makes it seem too easy and as if victims are just not trying hard enough.
