#Kids Outdoor Playground Online

[crustycantankerousgrownup]

Imma let y'all in on a stroke of millennial parenting genius that probably won't work today, but I recognize as supremely impressive in hindsight.

If you don't know/remember, Webkinz is/was a brand of plushies that you could buy at the Hallmark store and register online to take care of and play computer games with. They were kind of like a superior competitor to Neopets. If you had a Webkinz account, you had to buy and register a new Webkinz plushie every year or so to keep your account active.

When I was a kid, I had a friend who was really into Webkinz. Like, she had a bed worth of surface area devoted to excess Webkinz that were unregistered so she could renew her account on a moment's notice. I don't know where she got them-- could have been from family and friends as gifts, could have been all she spent her allowance on. Point is, she spent a lot of time playing computer games, and when I went over to her house, that was most of what we bonded over.

Her dad was also kinda technologically savvy-- I think it was part of his job. I don't even think this was that hard to do at the time, but he had the TV set up to act as the monitor for their family's desktop computer. Like, it was a huge TV, so their family computer basically had a comically large monitor.

We thought this was the coolest thing ever, and the most "secretive" thing we ever did on the computer at that age was type in our Webkinz password. We didn't think anything of the fact that her parents could sit behind us on the couch, or see the TV from the kitchen, and monitor what we were doing online as though they were sitting on a bench at the playground.

We got to obliviously live our rich-kid-magic-tech dreams and play our computer games, and they got peace of mind knowing that we weren't being exposed to porn or animal torture while on the internet.

I so hope that this will work on gen-alpha kids by the time I have them because it is not the internet's job to be kid-friendly. It's its job to be organized with kid-friendly spaces, but I think being able to monitor kids' play during screen time the way you monitor them during outdoor play is a no-brainer.

Agere headcanons for the calamity trio!

Anne is a flip, caregiver lean!

When she is regressed her little age is around 8-9. Her regression is voluntary.

She learned about regression through taking care of Sasha and Marcy, then figured that she should try it herself.

She is really hyper when regressed and loves the outdoors.

She sometimes calls Marcy her butterfly and baby and Sasha little dude and kid. Pet names she uses for both are kiddo and hon.

When she is a caregiver she is always doing fun activities with Sasha and Marcy when they regress.

She takes Sasha and Marcy outside on fun nature walks and she always packs snacks! (Makes sure all of them are accessible)

"Can you tell me what color this is kiddo?" "Do you know what animal that is hon?"

She takes Sasha and Marcy to the park very often and they all play on the playground.

She takes them both to the museum often too. She will ask Marcy what the names of the dinosaurs are, both because it helps her be smol but also because she just doesn't know the full names.

She's memorized all the names of Marcys Stuffies and LPS.

She also packs a pair of noise canceling headphones with her incase Marcy has a sensory overload.

She also packs cute bandaids incase either of them gets injured.

She helps Sasha and Marcy cook and bake things, makes sure she's the one to handle anything that's really hot or when chopping things with a knife, she doesn't want her kiddos to get hurt.

Sasha is a flip, regressor lean!

Her little age is about 5-7. His regression is usually involuntary but sometimes a coping skill.

She started regressing before she even knew what the word for it was, but Marcy taught her what regression was so now he has a word for the feelings.

She'll sometimes help Anne take care of Marcy

When he is a caregiver he is extremely protective of Anne and Marcy.

He'll take Anne and Marcy on trips to the mall and if they are good she will even buy them things.

She definitely stays up past her bedtime.

SHE stole the cookies from the cookie jar! And she sometimes frames Marcy, or the cat...

He will call Anne Mamacha or Anna Banana and Marcy MarMar or sweetie.

On nature walks she definitely runs ahead.

Climbs on everything!

"Check out how fast I can run!" "Look! I can ride a bike with no hands!"

She likes to play with toy cars AND barbies!

Thanks to him, barbie now rides a monster truck!

She likes to play with slime.

She loves to put music on his phone and have dance parties with Anne and Marcy!

Marcy is a regressor!

Their little age is 2-6. Their regression is usually involuntary but sometimes she uses it to relax. She regressed a lot of the time.

She started regressing after the traumatic events during their time in Amphibia. They found out what it was called while searching online.

She calls Anne mama, mama bear, and baba, they call Sasha Sash and big sis or big bro.

They use pacis and she likes to decorate them themself!

They put stickers on everything!

She loves to play pretend! Sometimes she's a pirate! Sometimes their a doctor! They can be anything!

They have a massive stuffie collection and she needs more!

She is very clingy and cuddly, they will snuggle with Anne and Sasha any chance they get.

They love playing with Littlest Pet Shops and they have a ton of them! And also Legos! Sasha will join her a lot of times.

They have another journal specifically for their regression.

They play animal crossing and she has also made them, Sasha, and Anne in the sims.

They get sensory overloads a lot but Anne is always there to help calm them down.

They are always talking about her hyper fixations and getting any merch they can of it (especially plushies!)

Anne and Sasha help them with doctors appointments (they need to go a lot more after the events of true colors). Anne will hold her hand during shots or blood draws, or just if she gets stressed.

Also due to the events of true colors they sometimes need a wheelchair to get around. Anne will usually be the one to push her but sometimes Sasha will push her too. Sasha pushes them very fast, they both find it fun.

Jack Krauser as a caregiver (mainly for petre) / and as a little or flip

but separated for those who would only like to be babies

pre infection and post resi 4 he is thinking about retiring so you coming into his life is a blessing

a reason to cling to his sanity, someone he can protect and spend his ridiculous amounts of money on he gets either as a salary or as a pension

loves when you regress and show weakness as he isnt used to a display of that total daintiness. adores it wholeheartedly and wouldnt change it for anything.

loves the outdoors and car rides/roadtrips, if you accompany him on one he will be over the moon

camping trips with just the two of you, making marshmallows and stargazing are frequent with him

you can howl at the moon/ bring him cool sticks and rocks you found,/ you can even hunt and catch some insects, but he always reminds you to put them back to their place later as they are living beings too

you can play hunt with him tho as well, he is a master of hide and seek (but will tone it down for you)

you can watch movies in the car without headphones on

will teach you campfire songs and tell you o n l y the exciting and funny stories of when he was working

loves a puppy regressor, but is open to any other animal and he will be fascinated to learn to care for you in new ways

you two will visit pet shops and he lets you choose toys and equipment for helping you regress

will bake you cokies resembling dog treats/make you chicken strips and eggs (fox), i can see him fishing from time to time and he is happy to prepare his catch for you (cat)/ will keep gummy worms and sliced fruit in his backpack for you (rodent, bat) if you like them even different seeds, nuts and dried fruit (the student mix rocks imo) as well

any time you want to go outside he will go with you to the backyard and watch you explore and play and even join you if you ask i him, any way, he wont take his eyes off of you

likes playing chase or tug o' war and he commits to the bit with holding back and letting you win, but we can tire you out (either pre infection or post re4 that is very considerate and impressive of him with all that power and the physique)

you will have your own little playground with slides and swings amd monkeybars but he is perfectly okay with taking you to one in the neighbourhood

watching shows on animal planet about the one you regress to - will tell you if the cuties in the show act just like you and will praise you for it

if youd like he can give you a cute petname (there is a big chance it has the structure similar to  the codenames they used all the time)

not experienced with a little not as a pet regressor but regardless will be eager to learn and helps with the regression

is very patient amd lets you stay in the headspace as long as you like

prints you coloring pages (using the militarys money)

no but really scrap papers, templates noone will ever fill, he just takes and uses the other side

now your colored pages sometimes will have a military stamp of the branch he workes in on

and sometimes gets your art mixed in between his work papers

likes helping you out with your creative projects

very lenient on your bedtime as having the night to himself and passing out at 2am watching something with you on the tv, when the kids channels all have either switched to some other type, are repeating episodes or are playing really old shows is a rare treat he couldnt have without the consequence of being tired all day next day

now you two are sleeping in as much as you can and enjoying life

likes morning walks with you on the occasions you wake up early, when the neighbours are still asleep and the sun hasnt risen yet

if you get tired he can carry you

will cook for you but hasnt got anything against fast food

will surprise you with toys he saw you looking at online or you got mesmerised with watching an ad

some of the shows you two watch together are: bluey, jake the pirate, paw patrol, mickey mouse clubhouse, the crearure cases, scooby-doo, the garfield show, madagascar, barbie and the newest my little pony series - he likes the old one as well but thinks it may be a bit scary somstimes for a little

flip part

sometimes when he reads you a story his mother used to for him as well he gets emotional and may regress with you

this feeling isnt new to him but only since meeting you can he really word what he feels and needs

its perfectly fine he doesnt push you to be his caregiver if its not in your nature or put you of your headspace, he is content with playing and cuddling with you

but if you take care if him when little/pet regressed or if you arent a typical cg but as his beloved he at the moment doesnt wanna label his nature of relationship with, he will melt

will totally cry

will cry everything out those moments

slipping into littlespace especially, there is at least an hour of that always in the beginning

uses baby-talk or goes non-verbal

doesnt like to think of you as his mommy, because the relationship with his family is complicated: the relationship with his mom is sacred. this is not to say you can never fill the void in his heart left by growing up and away from her, he just doesnt wanna put that burden on you, this holy image of a guardian, kind of like God. his mom tried her best to keep him safe, yet he went off to the most tiresome, cruel and demaning job, he still feels ambiguous about it, thinking he upset his mom by going against her kind nature. his dad better not mentioned, doesnt like to think of him even not in littlespace, he absolutely forgets he has a dad when regressed.

sometimes he just repeats "im sorry" over and over. about his men, how he treated leon if he went the canon way, if not how he almost turned to the dark side.

wants you to kiss his scars better.

big hoodies to hide his arms, he still feels insecure about them. you can reassure him he is the strong and brave boy he was.

has a 50+cm plushie of his fave animal which he carries around everywhere

you will have a cd collection of all the shows and movies he liked as a kid

he will be commenting on them while you two watch it and introduce you to the characters. if you get lost, totally helps you out by telling you the story

if you make him meals he had as a kid he will cry happy tears

is open to modern media as well

at one point he totally was into pokemon, but seeing his beloved characters fighting is saddening to him so he only plays pretend with raising them

his plushie collection. totally has the cats legs hanging down to the floor. yall need to wash that one more or put socks on it so those will get dirty instead of the stuffie

gives names to all his plushies and has a journal where he writes down what happened with them in their day to day life

Ways to Broaden Children’s Horizons

In an increasingly interconnected world, exposing children to diverse experiences is essential for their growth and development. Broadened horizons not only enrich their knowledge but also cultivate empathy, creativity, and adaptability. Let's explore some effective ways to expand children's perspectives through educational opportunities, cultural exposure, outdoor adventures, and global awareness.

Educational Opportunities

Educational opportunities extend beyond the classroom, providing children with hands-on learning experiences. Field trips to museums, science centers, and historical sites can ignite curiosity and make learning fun. Additionally, educational programs such as summer camps and workshops offer specialized instruction in areas like art, technology, and science.

Online resources and virtual tours have become invaluable tools for learning. Platforms like Khan Academy, National Geographic Kids, and virtual museum tours allow children to explore subjects and places from the comfort of their homes. These resources can supplement traditional education and inspire a love for lifelong learning.

Cultural Exposure

Understanding and appreciating different cultures is fundamental to broadening a child's worldview. Books and media that showcase diverse cultures can introduce children to new traditions, languages, and ways of life. Encourage them to read stories from various cultural backgrounds or watch international films and documentaries.

Fostering multicultural friendships is another powerful way to enhance cultural exposure. Engaging with peers from different backgrounds helps children develop social skills and cultural sensitivity. Parents and educators can facilitate this by organizing cultural exchange programs or community events that celebrate diversity.

Outdoor Adventures

Spending time outdoors offers numerous benefits, from physical health to mental well-being. Outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and wildlife watching allow children to connect with nature and develop a sense of environmental stewardship. Family outings to national parks, botanical gardens, or even local playgrounds can be both educational and fun.

Nature exploration also fosters creativity and problem-solving skills. Encourage children to participate in activities like gardening, bird watching, or nature journaling. These experiences can spark curiosity about the natural world and inspire a lifelong appreciation for the environment.

Global Awareness

In today's globalized society, teaching children about global issues and diverse perspectives is crucial. Discussing topics such as climate change, poverty, and human rights can help them understand the complexities of the world. Use age-appropriate resources like children's news websites and educational videos to explain these issues in an engaging manner.

Community service and projects offer practical ways for children to contribute to global awareness. Volunteering at local charities, participating in environmental clean-ups, or supporting international causes teach valuable lessons about empathy, responsibility, and civic engagement.

Conclusion

Broadening children’s horizons is an ongoing process that requires intentionality and creativity. By providing educational opportunities, cultural exposure, outdoor adventures, and fostering global awareness, we can help our children grow into well-rounded, empathetic, and knowledgeable individuals. Start incorporating these practices into your child's life today, and watch them flourish in a world full of possibilities.

Fun Activities to Support Summer Learning at Home

Summer break is a great time for kids to unwind. However, the time away from the classroom can lead to learning loss and boredom. This can present challenges for parents to keep their children entertained while also supporting continued learning. From exploring the great outdoors to creative DIY, here is a list of ways to keep the boredom away while strengthening developmental skills.

1. Get outside!

Playing outside is beneficial for a number of reasons. It can help children socialize, learn new skills, develop gross motor functioning, utilize problem solving skills, and engage in imaginative play.

Head outside for a neighborhood scavenger hunt. There are many examples online or you could make one of your own that could include looking for: objects of certain colors, shapes, specific animals/bugs, or street signs.

Watch the Summer Olympics and make your own “events” at home. Some “event” ideas include: bean bag toss, balance beam (using a scrap 2X4), water bucket relay, water balloon toss, frisbee throwing, and a bicycle obstacle course.

Go to a local park and climb on the playground equipment, play hopscotch, practice your basketball or soccer skills, or play four-square.

Learn a new outdoor activity such as croquet, bocce ball, jump rope, or gaga ball.

Plant a veggie garden. Not only is this a fun way to incorporate math, science, and reading, but you can reap the tasty benefits all summer long (and maybe like new veggies in the process).

2. Read, read, read!

All reading is great! This can include reading junk mail, magazines, newspapers, or even the signs on a road trip. The goal is to keep your children excited about reading.

Go to the library on a weekly basis and check out new books.

Start a summer reading challenge at home, such as reading 15 minutes a day or setting a goal of reading one book a week.

Have a family book club. Choose a book to read as a family and then discuss it together afterwards. You can talk about your favorite/least favorite parts, rate it, or if you would recommend it to others.

3. Make math fun!

Family activities are a fun, practical way to practice and apply math skills.

Bake a cake

Follow a recipe – or try to double a recipe

Learn to knit, crochet, or cross stitch. There are many videos online to assist in getting you started or check out a book from your local library.

Make Wednesday nights (or night of the week) Family Game Night! Board games are a great way to incorporate math in a fun, practical way. Some of my personal family favorites for a variety of ages are Sorry!, Monopoly, Connect Four, Trouble, BINGO, Yahtzee, Chutes and Ladders, Sequence, Cribbage, and Shut Box.

4 Get creative!

Engaging in DIY/arts and crafts can help children learn patience, improve their fine motor skills, develop creativity, and provide an outlet for self-expression.

Gather smooth rocks and paint colorful designs, animals, or inspirational sayings on them. You can then place them around your neighborhood as a fun surprise for others to find.

Make sock puppets. Scour your drawers for old socks and use buttons, googly eyes, yarn, and fabric scraps to make puppets. Your children can then use their sock puppets to perform a play.

Create magic wands. Gather small sticks from your yard and use glitter, clay, pipe cleaners, yarn, and cardboard to make them colorful and unique. (These could also be used in your sock puppet play!)

Get together with friends to make friendship bracelets using embroidery floss or yarn. Check out a book from the library to learn how to make different knots.

Get creative and explore different mediums and surfaces. Try out mediums such as magic markers, watercolor paints, tempera paints, oil pastels, colored pencils, crayons, or permanent markers. Try them out on different surfaces that would otherwise be thrown away, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, styrofoam, or aluminum foil. The limit is your imagination!

These activities can be tailored to the age and interests of your child. You can incorporate open ended questions in each of these activities to further build vocabulary skills and enhance back-and-forth conversational skills. Whatever you decide to do, make learning fun! While worksheets and workbooks are also ways to continue supporting learning, they can be boring and children are less inclined to participate. Have a blast this summer enjoying the time off while continuing to support learning at home!
