I go to work on Thursday, and end on Friday, but I also go to work on Friday and end on Friday.  Wat?

I work 2200-0600 Sunday to Friday morning. I never know what day of the week it is. I'm a super light sleeper so it's earplugs, blackout curtains and shutting the bedroom door. Even then I can still hear the GF around the house. 

Just got back from a tiny local burger place for lunch with the GF. I'm having a nightcap (daycap?) of a couple of fingers of Johnny Walker Black Label on the rocks and then it's nighty night.

I worked nights throughout my 20s. It's awesome if you live alone and don't have daytime responsibilities.

I road raged a lot when I shifted back to regular hours.

I always summarize my attempt at becoming nocturnal by doing prep cook late shift and delivering bread early shift with "...and then I put my hand in a pasta roller and fell asleep at a Tom Waits concert."

24hr shop at my first base.  3 months on day shift, 3 months on nights.

Hated that first week going from night to day.  Day to night wasn't bad though

Kids programming is so annoying. There’s plenty of research out there to do it right, but do they? NO. 

Kid brains are not just smaller versions of adult brains. So let’s say Clifford sees a dog with 3 legs and makes fun of it. Then he gets to know the dog and feels bad. Do kids realize that these are connected events and the lesson at the end means “don’t do the thing at the beginning”? No. They do not. They see two seemingly unrelated example behaviors: A) Make fun of others with disabilities, and B) Sometimes you feel bad about things

In this actual example, the takeaway was that kids were more likely to make fun of someone with disabilities. It had just been exampled/normalized for them. 

The REAL method is to simply show model behavior. 

There’s been enough time and education that this should have percolated down by now.

Not to be a Bluey fanatic, but that show actually does a pretty good job at showing real scenarios (it's a cartoon dog family that speaks, I know) that kids experience and how to handle them, generally with the parents correcting the behavior.  It has the parents talking about how they were bullying (the kids call out the dad while he tells the story) and how it was wrong.  

My personal favorite is when Bandit comments then he wishes he had 2 Bingos because she is so helpful, causing Bluey to run off upset.  He isn't right, but we've all thought "man, why can't this kid be like the other?".

This example was researched and that was the outcome?  Or are you just saying its possible for it to be interpreted that way?

I think kids are more intelligent than your example would suggest.

So you REALLY like Caillou then

In reply to prodarwin :

Yeah, that is a particular example from a study. The study was about how children ten and younger, in particular, take things.

Interesting.  Thanks for the link.

I’ve read a few with the kids but don’t recall ever seeing one, so I’m afraid I cannot tell if joking.

Right??

Sorry about the tangent, with a kid with a sensitivity disorder, you kinda start getting hyper-focused on what they’re taking in and annoyed when “easy” things are missed :/

He was notorious for throwing horrible fits. Kids would watch it and start throwing fits about everything afterward.
