The Avocado Parenting Thread is Encouraging!

Hello fellow parents and caregivers of children!

There are a bunch of new parents here (raises hand) and there are plenty of veteran parents, as well as people who have experience caring or helping to care for children, like teachers, baby-sitters, aunts, and uncles. Coming together will help all of us, whether we need advice, commiseration, or just a space to let it out. Being a caregiver of small humans can be hard, but also rewarding and wonderful, so we can also share in the joys of watching little humans get to be big humans.

Suggested topic: Encouragement

What do you do to encourage your kid, to read, to learn, to do their homework, to engage in activities they enjoy? Is it harder when they’re into something you’re not a fan of, like your kid is super athletic and loves team sports and you can’t stand them? Or maybe you’re the sports lover and your kid just wants to read books? How do you support them?
