Photos So Painfully Awkward You Can Actually Feel It + Little Things To Do To Make Your Life More Interesting

Here’s the thing: if you’ve ever been around kids you know that you can’t just force them to behave and sit still all the time. If you do this, they’ll rebel. That is, they’ll get in the way when you’re trying to work. If you want a kid to sit still, you have to promise them a reward. The reward is playtime.If the kid knows that there’s ice skating scheduled at 3:00 p.m., or that you’re going dancing at 8:00 p.m., or that you’re going to spend all of Saturday afternoon building model airplanes, the kid will calm down and allow the adult to work until that time. By scheduling fun, both the adult and the kid in your head win. In order to make sure that you achieve your goal of having more fun and playing more, schedule it.
