How do you write healthy parent-child relationships?
this might be more response than you want, but interesting (and kinda depressing when you think about it) fact: there’ve been a bunch of research studies where parents have been asked what they think makes a healthy parent-child relationship, and they tend to like…not answer the actual question because they think they’re being asked what good parenting is, which is not the same. so they talk about things like helping kids with homework and making sure they eat well. children, on the other hand, usually respond to the same question with stuff that’s literally just the definition of healthy relationships generally. affection, honesty, respect, spending time together, sharing interests. and the real kicker is, objectively, we know that’s the kind of stuff that actually has a much better impact not only on whether or not the relationship is strong and positive but also the kid’s overall happiness and psychological health.
so, if you want to write a character who’s really intent on being a Good Parent you’d have them putting massive effort into making their kid Grow Up Right, worrying about shit like if they have The Right Friends and they’re spending Enough Time Outside. but if you want to write a good relationship, just make parent and kid laugh together and respect boundaries and be emotionally supportive, like you would when writing a solid pair of friends or romantic couple.
No that was actually really helpful and I’m glad you took the time to give a serious response
You know I remember a moment I held Shiro (from Voltron) at an idol position.
I would draw him, I would read fan fictions on him, lots of other things… *ahem*
Anyways, when I came stronger in my faith I told God I’d choose him over Shiro if I had to.
And guess what. God put me to the test.
Shiro came out as gay and I was DEVASTATED. But I knew I had to let it go. I couldn’t worship sin. I couldn’t accept him, I had to let him go.
So I chose God over Shiro.
Here’s the thing; interests come and go, they’ll change overtime, but God will always stay the same. He’ll always be there.
Gods worth it!
22 I will die in this land; I will not cross the Jordan; but you are about to cross over and take possession of that good land.23 Be careful not to forget the covenant of the Lord your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden. 24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
The are going to delete the definition of transgender on the civil Rights act
Call ur representatives and give them hell!!
This is yet another punch we are getting from this bastard of an administration
If the worse gets to happen here are some tweets about finding refugee on Canada and Ireland where u can get ur gender recognized by the state
I haven’t seen anyone post about it, please be mindful that this can cause anxiety and panic between the community, don’t let it win over you, we need to take action and give them hell until they backpedal this
But if this is overwhelming you please take time to take care of yourself, you are loved and the mere act of existing is in of itself a brave act
Sure thing, sorry I think I cropped the dates out, this is from this morning
i don’t understand this?
like you can stop recognizing the word transgender but it’s still a thing? people are still going to come out as trans and folks are still going to realize it as a thing? idgi
He wants dna tests to ‘prove’ what folks are. It’s gross and again intersexed folks are left in a worse situation.
“The department argued in its memo that key government agencies needed to adopt an explicit and uniform definition of gender as determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” The agency’s proposed definition would define sex as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with, according to a draft reviewed by The Times. Any dispute about one’s sex would have to be clarified using genetic testing.”
