Do you ever have that moment when a kid is looking at you and you realize that they’re looking at you as a grown up? Then its like no child im a children too, dont. Im sorry my outward appearance confuses you.
The moment in my life when I realized that 95% of adults are just freaked out teenagers in older bodies trying desperately to hide the fact that they don’t really know or understand what’s going on was probably the most important realization I’ve ever had
Please do not talk about a child’s weight in front of them, or tell them they need to go on a diet.
Talking about weight in front of children is associated with mental and physical health risks, and both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Pediatric Society recommend against all weight talkaround children.
Yet we have an epidemic of childhood obesity, childhood diabetes and childhood hypertension. One needs to explain to children how to be healthy and why. It starts young. Or let them suffer the consequences of the above.
1. You don’t need to talk about a child’s weight in order to teach them about health.
Discussing the importance of habits (good nutrition, physical activity, sufficient sleep, etc.) is very reasonable and in fact a good thing! But the goals attached to these habits should be health and feeling good, not achieving a certain aesthetic appearance or weight goal.
2. Children don’t control the family’s lifestyle and often don’t make the decisions about what foods they eat.
Parents make decisions in the home about which foods are available, when meals and snacks are given, and when physical activity occurs. They also lead by example through their own behaviours.
Telling a child that they are too heavy or eat the wrong things puts far too much responsibility on a child for things they can’t control.
3. Health and weight are complicated issues even for adults. It’s unreasonable to expect children to understand the complexities of these behaviours.
It’s up to use as adults to role model healthy behaviours and gradually teach children about health over time. You can’t sit down and explain to a child “how to be healthy” - health behaviours are a set of skills that take years to learn, and many adults struggle with.
The fact he’s named kinda brushes over the fact this is a wild elephant. Born in the wild, raised in the wild, the only human interaction is watching the safaris. And after mean humans shot him, he decided the best course of action was to go visit the nice humans who just take pictures in hopes they’d help him. And then, even though they didn’t help him right away, he trusted that because they continued to be nice, he was safe, and they would help him.
also the people saw an elephant and were like “that’s a ben”
i hope he tells the other elephants where they can get help
Orphans who were rescued, raised, and released by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya have communicated that it is a place of safety to other elephants who’ve never even been there.
Injured animals will show up there when they have been harmed by poachers because they know it is a place where they can get help!
i am very glad elephants have a functioning yelp system

actually my favorite classical figure is Apuleius, because of the time he defended himself from a charge of sorcery by denying that he had ever done any of a really detailed and specific list of things sorcerers would do
