Attention!!!

As some of you already know The Dragon Prince on Netflix might get cancelled after it’s third season!!!!!!!!

For those of you who already watched it, rewatch it! And rewatch the upcoming season! And give it a thumbs up rating! Recommend it to friends and family!!!!

For those of you who haven’t watched it, please consider giving it a try. Yes the target age group is for children but it can be enjoyable for older age groups.

It’s from the creators of Avatar: the Last Airbender. It has amazing world building and human characters.

It properly displays sibling relationships and step parent/step child relationships.

The animation is brilliant! And DRAGONS!!!!

With all that said please consider watching it or recommending it to someone who you think will like it

me, and intellectual:

when she says she doesn’t send nudes

please do not force an lgbt label onto anne frank. she died before she had the chance to explore her sexuality and if you need to think of her as lgbt to have empathy for her you need to reconsider how you think of holocaust victims. please do not vilify her father, a man who lost his entire family in the holocaust, for censoring the parts in anne’s diary where she expresses attraction for women. it was 1947. jewish girls were already seen as hypersexual. he was protecting her legacy as best he could, and you have no right to call him a villain for wanting what was period-typical best for his late daughter.

One thing I enjoy most about teaching is how children react to me after they’ve been angry.

I’ve been pinched, punched, kicked, choked, scratched, screamed at, been the target of flying projectiles, anything you can imagine, I’ve probably had it happen to me.

Yet when it’s all over, 90% of kids who flipped out will hug me or apologize.

Usually, I address the angry child calmly, even if my inner fight or flight is kicking in. I can’t show the child’s behavior is okay. Yelling and screaming are not how they’re going to get what they want, so it’s not how I’m going to get what I want.

I wait until they’re done expressing their anger, whether it be directed at me or an inanimate object. I keep repeating the phrases “Are you done yet?” and “Feel better yet?” and wait until they’re calm enough to respond.

That’s when it’s time for discipline. 

Usually, discipline for me just means I sit down and talk them through what happened. It’s telling them “yes, you’re allowed to be angry, but hurting people is never a good reason unless you or someone else is being hurt.”  Then I explain that if this happens again, the same thing is going to happen. They’re not going to get what they want. They’re going to get a chill out until their anger subsides. 

Then I ask “What can we do differently next time?” If the child doesn’t have an answer, I’ll give them suggestions like “kick a ball” or “run as fast as you can” or “scribble on paper until they feel better” or “sit by yourself until the anger goes away” and usually it’s met with the child suggesting their own ideas. 

I’ve actually had kids put themselves on chill out chairs because they’re about to flip out. There’s a personal pride that comes from that. Seeing a 4 or 5-year-old recognize destructive behavior and take steps to fix it themselves is an intelligence level most adults fail to have.

At no time do I tell them their anger is wrong. I tell them their behavior is wrong. Being angry is a part of our humanity, but hurting others because we’re angry is dangerous territory. 

I never make them say sorry, either. I don’t want them to if they don’t mean it. Some kids are taught saying sorry makes the problem go away, and I don’t agree with that. I’d rather they show me they’re sorry, such as doing better next time or stopping the behavior altogether.

Some people might argue I’m being too soft, but when you have a child tell you they don’t see you as an adult because you don’t yell at them, it’s a comforting but sad notion that you’re doing the right thing.

Hi I love your art - i was wondering if you could do some kind of post on how to start/ organize an online store? Also what kinda packaging do you use for prints?

Thanks!

This is a really big subject that’s been covered quite a lot all over youtube and other word docs, but here’s my personal perspective on running an online store? :D

Starting

I myself use Storenvy, but a bunch of my artist friends use Etsy (and I’ve been considering making the change myself!) Both platforms have a “marketplace” where other customers can find your products, and both take fees from you every time you sell. You can weigh both options and choose according to what you prefer. (I think you have to pay storenvy like, one dollar before you can sell.)

For storenvy, everything is pretty self explanatory! You can even automatically print shipping labels online fast because Storenvy is partnered with shipping easy :D

In terms of promoting yourself, Etsy’s marketplace really helps! For storenvy I don’t place myself in the marketplace because I’ve been doing just fine promoting myself online, but it may be something you want to look into

Organizing

If you’ve got 20+ items, it’s best to split your items into different categories like “prints”/”buttons” etc! I also think that the important and popular items should go on top, like deals :D Here’s my shop for reference
