Does anyone use specific materials to teach math, science, English, etc for kids. Right now kids are in kg and pre k.
I want to spend about an hour or two a day with them and teaching is probably a good way to spend on weekdays

Honestly, at that age, I would be focused on getting outside with them and doing whatever. If it’s raining you can read, or play silly inside games.

Kids remember every time you were physically present and engaging at a visceral level. You can shift into more academics as they get older or you see a need, but I’d rather be playing catch, or shooting baskets, or playing some crazy football/rugby remix, or ice skating, or whatever until then. Young kids learn by doing and playing.

There is also alphablocks (made by BBC but not on Netflix) - good for learning letters and sounds, BUT only if you’re okay with your kid having a British accent!

So far we have been doing outdoor stuff like soccer, playground, etc. Want to start something indoor/teaching. Of course not some tough curriculum but a fun way to learn. At this point, older one says boring for reading and math. So want to get that feeling out and say it's fun to learn

Numberblocks on Netflix and a set of magnetic cubes. My 5 year old can count to over 1000, add two digit numbers, knows 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 multiplication tables, and what it means to square and cube a number. His love of numbers started with this TV series produced by the BBC. Episodes are ~6 mins each starting with 1-10 then getting into more ‘complex’ topics. His KG teacher has struggled to find the right level for him (sending him home with second and fifth grade math exercises to do).

He also likes these (but they aren’t as easy to fit together and move around as the magnet ones - would wait to see if they like the show before buying them): https://www.amazon.com/hand2mind-Numberblocks-Activities-NumberBlocks-Homeschool/dp/B08ZR65PLQ/ref=asc_df_B08ZR65PLQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507744456713&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2768942068045025234&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005103&hvtargid=pla-1328340476558&psc=1

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY. The thing is, I fell in love during the pandemic with a friend that I have known for 3 years. It's frustrating since I know I could continue my job from home. I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

On the flip side with how expensive houses are right now it’s hard to even buy. I’m in CA btw SoCal. If anyone has any suggestion of places to live for a 26 YO TIA!

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.
