I love this. It reminds me of when I was little in school, and my teacher would read us all of the classic stories. To be young with a wonderfully supported imagination was just amazing.

Reading to children is one of the most important things a parent can do for a child

A bit of inspiration can go a long way.

Bored Panda reached out to Sergio to learn more about him and his creative process. The illustrator, who professionally works as a high school teacher in Zaragoza, Spain, shared that illustration is not his sole dedication. "For me, it's a second activity that I really enjoy. In fact, my cartoons are closely related to education and children."

    Sergio shared that he began his artistic journey by drawing cartoons related to sports, eventually leading to the publication of a book. He explained, "Since then, I have been shifting towards the theme of education. While I've experimented with oil painting, it proved time-consuming, and I find digital illustration much simpler and easier to pick up," he added.

    Sergio finds inspiration in his surroundings, with a particular passion for contemplating how to translate ideas into drawings. He shared, "I make many sketches in a notebook that I always carry with me; transferring it neatly and publishing it is the next step and the one that costs me the most. I love it when my drawings are liked and help people to open discussions and talk about education."

    Watching my favorite TV show (D20, a live action RPG with improv comedians) has sparked my imagination like nothing else. Every form of media can be value or trash - and can spark intelligence and creativity.

    Seems rather snobbish. There’s great TV and time-wasting books. With TV, you usually can realize the rest won't be worth it much faster than when reading a novel. Efficiency.

    Funny story when I was like 5 or 6 I jumped at my dad for a hug (it was a thing we did) and he stepped out of the way and I just FACEPLANTED IN FRONT OF HALF OF THE TEACHERS. He was mortified!

    lol He probably learned from kids like mine. My daughter used to run up to people and they would bend down to give her a hug just as she jumped up, and they would faceplant into her head. Happened to her Grade 1 teacher. We both felt so bad. She just wanted to give her favourite teacher a hug.

    I did to my dad emotionally. My half brother and whole brother both said "mama" for their first word. My brother was at the age where he was watching Power Rangers when I was born. Guess my first word. Jason.

    If I had a do-over I would make the bedtime and morning routine consistent throughout the year. It doesn't have to be me, but the kiddo definitely. Spent so much time trying to fix sleep and wake schedules and took a lot of effort to keep it up. Not worth it.

    My 6YO daughter gets up at the same time regardless of whether she has school or not. The difference is that, at the weekend and on holiday, she looks at her alarm clock and only wakes us at 8.30 a.m. at the earliest. If she's hungry and we're not up yet (we usually are because she has a younger brother!), she gets her own breakfast.

    My child once experienced a thumbnail of Eugenia C. because I happened to watch something so the algorithm did the thing. He was deeply traumatized and still is to this day. He is a very gentle soul,but still. We need to watch out for what they see out there. It's scary...

    I know the spirit in which you posted that, but one year I wanted to give my mom the 'traditional Christmas' she was complaining about & found both of those in resin form at Whole Foods. Later found a booth at a farmers market that had better quality. They're surprisingly easy to find, especially if you like compounding your own perfumes, oils, or incense. (Mom is an herbalist so this led her into making her own perfume oils, so it was a welcome gift even though it was very tongue in cheek)

    I always appreciate that the magi gave gifts to Jesus, not one another. It's so sad that most people use this commercialized holiday to give compulsory gifts to one another that usually are not very appreciated, but they give no gifts to Jesus if they think of him at all. And a tree wasn't mentioned in any of the gospels. We got it all wrong today.

    Uh, I hate to break it to you, but Christianity stole the concept of having a "Christmas tree" from the "pagans" (fir trees were used during Yuletide festivities) in order to make it more palatable to destroy their "pagan" beliefs and force their religion onto them. Christmas trees aren't in the gospels because they're not Christian. Also, why would I need to give gifts to Jesus? How would I even give a gift to a fictional character?
