I often encourage my little ones to get their hands dirty and explore as many things as possible.  This could be touching stuff in nature or having different type of material and exploration stations at home.  With that said, there will be areas or situations [EX Glass decorations, Christmas ornaments, fresh food packaging...] where it’s not safe or appropriate to touch so naturally, I would ask them to not touch them.  They will nod and agree but the next thing you know, they are touching it.  Like many of my previous videos, the key is not to focus on what they CAN’T do but rather on what they CAN do. So instead, I use this 1 finger technique protocol 🔅Allow them to touch delicate things with just one/two fingers, they will be more open to it 🔅Take time to practice and model it, they might need a few tries 🔅Set the boundaries if needed, “I see you having a hard time following this rule, I will bring you to another area instead.” In addition, you can channel your little one to substitute touching with looking, smelling if the item is truly dangerous to touch.

Relentlessly prune bullshit, don't wait to do things that matter, and savor the time you have. That's what you do when life is short.

💭 @TheBestTwitterThreads

For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up all the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. “Someday” is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it’s important to you and you want to do it “eventually,” just do it and correct course along the way.

The Internet makes the smartest people smarter and the average ones stupider.

Either you fall down the rabbit hole of self-directed learning or get sucked into the hellscape of TikTok and the 24/7 news cycle.

The greatest skill one can develop is decreasing the time between idea and execution.

nudge people towards their dreams.

if someone timidly reveals a big dream or ambition that they think others might scoff at, throw sunlight and water on it. encourage them to explore it. listen. ask them to say more. help them crystalize the idea. gently nudge them towards it.

Everyone wants to climb the mountain, but the big difference between those at the top and those still on the bottom is simply a matter of showing up tomorrow to give it just one more shot.

💭 @TheBestTwitterThreads

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.

Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.

If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits. There is just less competition for bigger goals.
