When my kids were little, they hated getting sunscreen on them. They would wiggle and try to get away from us when we were trying to get it on them, making the whole situation a bit of a drama for all involved.

That was untill we discovered the joys of "Smørbaby"!

Smørbaby translates to "Butter Baby". We would tell them it was time to put the butter on, and we'd put some sunscreen in our hands and then apply it kind of playfully-roughly whilst loudly saying "SMØRBABY! SMØRBABY! SMØRBABY! SMØRBABY!" over and over again.

For some reason they found this hilarious, and would come running with the sunscreen of a morning when it was time to get out the door.

Now they are 13 and 11 .... and once in a while, they will still come to me with the sunscreen, a little grin and say "Hey mum .... Smørbaby?" and get me to put their sunscreen on.

Give it a go. Butter the baby! 😋

I have a teenager who uses "beseech" and "nigh" in casual conversation correctly.

What they expected me to give them with an abstract request like that, I have no idea. Clearly the answer was not AI slop, though! #parentingwin

@PetraPhoenix I gave my kid her first Pratchett when she was 11. She has fangirled over Tiffany Aching ever since. 😁✌️🤘🖖

In other, non-depressing news: Kid #2 -- having just turned 9 -- is experimenting with foods other than ravioli, peanut butter toast, and/or scrambled eggs. Last night, she scoffed some green beans with her nug nugs, and I'm reliably informed that she loved her chicken (and vegetable) satay noodles this evening.

She seems to be taking this as a challenge, so I will too: beef mussaman (with copious green beans, carrots, potato, and other hidden vegetables) is on the menu for Sunday night.

Your child might be an otrovert if they switch between outgoing and reserved with ease💛 .
It’s not inconsistency, it’s their natural temperament.
Understanding this helps build confidence and emotional safety🌟 .
