![]() I can barely type out that word without looking under my desk for a venomous reptile. ![]() Snakes are the creepiest thing on the face of the planet. ![]() ![]() Those are two other pieces of advice you may want to instill in your son (or daughter). I've created a bullet-point list of advice.ĭisclaimer: This works for me and my parenting style. It will get them much farther in life than tiptoeing around the park. Nurture their sense of curiosity and confidence. Instead, I bite my tongue and tell them to have fun. You could do that, I suppose, but I guarantee you: it won't help. We want to protect them and put them in bubble wrap. Something I learned somewhere in between a toy truck to the head (resulted in 26 stitches in the operating room) and poison ivy from head-to-toe is this: your first thought when they go out the door will be to tell them to be safe. They're always pushing boundaries, exploring, finding out the how's and why's. There was also the time LL#3 stuck a pebble in his nose because he wanted to see how far it would go. Somehow, he twisted and mangled this thing until it was so deep, we didn't know what it was! I know what you're thinking - just pull it out! It's too big to go that far! You would be wrong, my friend. Caption: This piece of rubber, from a pencil grip, was lodged in Little Locke #3's ear. ![]()
