Indeed. The challenge does quite clearly state to take a photo. |

As a parent of children over the age of Hearthly Jnr, I don't think this would be my hill to die on. She drew it, so she also has to be part of implementing it - it works both ways. The fact she conforms enough for school is a total win, if having a little more control at home over those sort of things is the compromise then it's no bad thing in my book. You can romanticise the amount of control you think you'll have, but kids are people with their own quirks and personalities. Squishing them into little boxes of exemplary behavior over every aspect of yours and their life is not realistic. Invariably, they could be so much worse Maybe it's a bit hippy but I try to agree terms with my kids before punishment gets doles out. Having a tidy room is such a nonsense if you chose to apply it by your own metric and that shit escalates when you have a child who isn't a meek little angel. The agreement in our house is that it gets tidied to a set standard once a week, they choose the day and the week starts Monday and ends Sunday night. If that doesn't happen, the following week they lose 3 days of internet privileges. They know the rule and they helped negotiate it. Same goes with the time the internet goes off at night, I find it reduces the amount of whinging when the rules are enforced. |

I have mentioned this before but just for the record Hearthly Jnr is autistic, albeit 'high functioning' as you're not supposed to call it these days. (She is considered disabled enough for Mrs Hearthly to get Carer's Allowance and we get medium level DLA for Jnr.) As such there is an extra dimension when it comes to things like lunchtime, which isn't to say that techniques and strategies that one would use with other children are irrelevant or wrong, but the approach often needs/tends to be different. What we don't want her to do is make her world smaller by creating all these rules and restrictions for herself, the ten minute window in which lunch 'HAS' to be served being a case in point. (And tea has to be ready between 3:30pm and 3:40pm, so you can imagine how limiting that is for planning stuff to do at the weekend.) |

Oh, that's a sadder end to what is a wonderful piece of art and planning by clearly a very well thought out, well drawn and well executed piece of work. Hearthly Jnr is very, very well written, too (obviously I don't know her age, but for a child of any age she seems to have a great use of language.) |

Nobody can change all the clocks in their house. I think it's the one on the oven that people usually forget how to control, or the microwave. Or the thermostat. |

It was a tough gig man, no one really has newspapers these days. We get a free one delivered once per week but I just look through the CRIME section to see if any names I recognise have been sent down for random acts of drunken violence, and then chuck it in the bin. I think the essence of the challenge is something that folks can do with objects that they have readily to hand, such as cuddly toys or Moregasms. |
