I've seen "I don't know how to play with toys anymore" a few times lately and just wanted to point out-

Playing with toys looks different for everyone, even actual children!

Playing with toys can look like: 🧸🪁🚂

Taking pictures of your toys and writing captions for them

Brushing or grooming soft toys or toys with rooted hair

Ordering or sorting your toys by colour/species etc

Making up stories, poems or comics about your toys

Dressing or accessorising your toys

Imagining your toys talking to you or each other, forming opinions of their own, etc

Drawing your toys

Taking your toys for a walk outside, even in a backpack or pocket if you don't want to carry them openly

Making lists of the toys you have and where you got them etc

Feel free to add your own ideas

sending love to those who struggle with the holidays. to those who have lost their family. to those who are from abusive homes. those who are struggling mentally. in a rough spot financially. those who are neurodivergent & easily overwhelmed. and to those who just plain don't enjoy them.

i hope you can smile genuinely, and feel some love. i hope they pass uneventfully, and your transition to the next year is smooth and full of warmth <3

Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven't lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn't matter. It's okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.

That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you're struggling with, and it'll come up with what you need + other related how-to's:)

If you're having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:

How to clean dishes by hand

How to make your bed (with visual demonstrations of each step!)

How to fold clothes (with visual demonstrations of each step!)

How to take a shower & dry yourself off (also provides ways to shave beards, armpits, legs and genitals)

How to shave legs, armpits, beards, pubic areas, etc. (a more in-depth guide)

How to mop the floor

How to sweep the floor

How to swallow pills

How to make small talk

How to make eye contact in different situations (or how to avoid it while still looking natural)

It's also perfectly okay if these don't help or aren't appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.

hi sweetheart 💛 these are just a few little reminders for you

🌻please take your medicine if you need to, you gotta make sure you stay as healthy as you can!

🌻 please try to eat something, even if it's just a little bit

🌻 please drink some water, you can even drink it in a sippy cup or with a fun straw if that makes it easier!

🌻 take a second to stretch, especially if you've been sitting for a while. your body can get cramped up and stiff if you haven't moved in a bit.

🌻 do something that makes you happy! even if it's something as small as looking at a cute video or going for a walk or sending someone a message!

i hope you have a wonderful day, little one. and remember, im so proud of you!

fankyous but me vewy social anxious person ans I'm not really good asking help to eople.. and I might good at something but I suffer from academic things, and I think that people, teachers, and classmates thinks that I'm stupid.. I'm very anxious right now ans I no wanna hav an anxiety attack agains, me really shakin while typing dis

I have social anxiety too, hon, I know it’s hard and I know how brave we have to be sometimes. Right now, the best thing you can do is try to calm yourself down.

There are lots of things you can do - I like to take a warm shower with some music, or wash my face and get a drink of water. Calm breathing works for a lot of kiddos, see if this gif helps!

No one thinks you’re stupid, kiddo. I promise you everyone is worried about other things going on in their lives, and I’m sure they’ve all made mistakes that made them think they were dumb too. But we all have different talents and we all make mistakes sometimes.

You are a brave, smart, kind, and caring baby. I want only good things for you, and I am wrapping you up in a big mama bear hug and sending good vibes your way ❤️

hi mama.. it me agains.. I no know who to talks cuz I got no one. It just my heart feels heavy and I feel very stupid and dumb, I can't keep up with my classes cuz Im such a slow learner and I can't focus really well.. I have lots of group activities in class too and for being stupid, I can't help dem cuz I don't know anything and plus I don't understand the lesson... My brain is foggy and blank.. mama.. I.. I hate myself.. I sowwy

Hi, baby ❤️ you don’t have to be sorry, I’m proud you’re telling me what’s going on!

Firstly, you can always talk to me, okay kiddo? You are not stupid or dumb, I do t think anyone is stupid or dumb. We all have different things we do better than others and we all have different things we struggle with.

It’s always okay to ask your teacher for help! I know it can be scary, but they’re there to help you learn and grow, and they want you to succeed. Plus they can maybe help you find some classmates or a tutor to help you, too! I took tutoring when I was in high school and college!

For group projects, try and help with the things you can - if you’re good at art, maybe you can draw something for the presentation, or you can help make the slideshow look more appealing!

I’m sure there are lots of things you’re good at, sweetheart. Please be brave, I know you can, and reach out for help when you’re having trouble, okay? ❤️
