Dance Moms is a bit toxic

Dance moms is an amazing show about little girls who dance and go to competitions every week. What people miss, don’t pay attention to, how toxic the moms and Abby Lee Miller {on the top} were to the little girls. 

 

The pyramid

The pyramid was toxic. The pyramid is a pyramid of the girls’ faces and if you were at the top of the pyramid then you were the best and you would want to be at the top if you were at the bottom then work your way to the top because you’re bad at dance.  

 

Chloe

Chloe is one of the best people in the world. She slays the day away but she never got on the top of the pyramid at all. She would work her but off and never get on the top of the pyramid, she would always always be at second or third of the pyramid. Chloe was one of the best kids at dancing apart from maddie she would be the best. 

Maddie 

Maddie was so good at dance but she had immense pressure on her to stay at the top. The pressure was high but not as high as the other girls to be at the top, even though they can never beat Maddie because she was Abby’s favorite. 

 

The others girls 

The other girls and Maddie, Chloe would be yelled at and would have to rehearse for hours and hours each day they would constantly cry and when they did they would get yelled at, from abby. 

 

Candy apples

Having candy apples in the mix of it {there rival dance studio}. makes it worse, sure candy apples are a bit bad but that still adds pressure to the girls. If they don’t beat candy apples then they get yelled at like that would happen though.

Abby

Abby is the most toxic racist person i have ever seen in a tv show she constantly has Nia do ethical dances when no one else was doing them. Abby would yell at you to the point of tears. She would yell at you for the stupidest reasons that the whole thing with Abby was toxic. 

 

Over all

Overall dance moms I think are a bit toxic and I was only talking about the girls and Abby. If you have a chance to see dance moms, the moms are extremely toxic. If you have a chance to spend a couple hours watching dance moms it’s a really good tv show but i just think its a bit toxic. 

 

Why Kids Need Screen Time {satire}

sophiemangelson Uncategorized , , , 0 Comment

Kids, no matter if you hate them or not, can’t be on social media. Social media, Roblox or even any other game is damaging their brains. They can’t get off their screens and it’s turning them into little devils. 

 

Some people think of kids nowadays as cute little innocent people. Not ipad babies, when a kid is growing up, slacking off and getting whatever they want, you as a parent have created the devil. Parents are the fault of creating these devils. As a parent you have to set boundaries, you can’t just slack off on your kids and give them whatever they want. When you do this you make your kids think the world revolves around them, when in reality it doesn’t. That’s how you get ipad babies or 10 year old sephora girlies. 

This is why kids need screen time/no social media. When you create a screen time you set boundaries as a parent. Which then doesn’t mess them up. The possibilities are endless. Kids get better sleep, they go outside more, they can get less depressed, and most importantly they don’t turn into little devils. 

 

So in reality these kids are messed up. Most of the time it’s the parents fault because they are not parenting and they give their kids whatever they wish for and it creates demands. We will see what happens to these kids but it does not look good for them.  

 

                                        How to set boundaries

So you now realize that your kid is a brat, but how do you set boundaries? Well it’s pretty easy actually. Just become the one in charge, that’s it, all you have to do is establish your the one in charge, your the parent. Then you can establish rules to set boundaries, that makes your kids slowly realize the world doesn’t revolve around them. Thus making them into sweet little angels. Hopefully. 

 

                                       Let’s be honest here….

I can’t keep talking about this until I just have to be very specific right now. Kids that are angels aren’t really angels. Kids in general are idiotic, annoying, know it alls. You have already heard me say let’s set up screen time for these kids, but here’s a better idea. Why can’t we just have every kid each year take a simple test to see if they are a brat? Then if they are, we put them under house arrest for a year until they can take the test again. When the kid comes of age, at 18, they don’t have to take the test, thus they’re free and don’t have to take the test ever again, or just get off house arrest. 

This whole idea sounds lovely because then you don’t have annoying 10 year old sephora girlies, or ipad babies. Adults could go and do things, and they don’t have to run into the annoying kids, and if they do run into kids, they’re not brats. This will benefit adults’ sanity and it will teach the kids to be a well rounded human being. 

{So then your kid is not the picture below but they are the one below the picture below.}

Not this 

Yes please. 

 

So in conclusion yes kids do need screen time and yes this idea does propose this. But wouldn’t putting kids under house arrest be so much easier. You’ve heard the points and it would be so easy just to get rid of the kids. Yes they still have to go to school, but if the kid is under house arrest then you don’t have to see them in public. It’s a win win for everyone.

No Screaming Children Please

Babysitting, what is babysitting? Is it a way to make money, a way to love kids, or just a fun hobby. Well whatever reason you babysit for you never want to have to deal with screaming children. Screaming children is my least, and probably yours too, thing to have happened when babysitting. 

Some ways that you can avoid crying children are playing simple games, but DO NOT PLAY VIDEO GAMES. Having the kids play video games on a phone or other device can make them grumpier and they make the kids not want to do anything. Even putting them in front of any screen, like a tv will have the same effect. 

The games that you can play are board games like Clue, Throw throw burrito, Ticket to ride, What do you meme, etc. Playing these fun family friendly games can make the kids calm down so quickly and easily. Other games like puzzles, mind games, and outside games, can have the same effect.

Some fun games you can play outside are tag and hide and seek. When you play these games you can choose many variations. Some variations of tag are infinite tag, toilet tag, freeze tag, princess tag, monster tag, chain tag, etc. Playing tag games will easily get their energy out.

For hide and seek variations there are infection, Ghost in the graveyard, blind hide and seek, hide and seek jail, etc. Both tag and hide and seek variations can be so good for children for that reason they are getting exercise, and it makes them think a little more. These games are also fun because the kids can be as loud as they want, and the noise won’t hurt anybody.

 

If you are not allowed to take the kids outside, then some fun games inside are hiding the object, Simon says, talent show, statues, telephone, etc. You can also still play tag and hide and seek variations inside, but that could make a big mess.

If the parents ask you if you can make food, be honest because if you don’t you could burn, rot or even not have any food at all. Some great food to cook for the kids is mac and cheese with a side of either salad or fruit, for a drink the best thing would be water, but if they don’t like water then give them some juice. Another option that you could choose would be a sandwich of any kind with salad or fruit, with a fun drink, unless you choose to make them a Pb&j then try to give them water. Lastly, another great one, Chicken nuggets! Kids love these, and any sauce would work with these, a fruit goes great with the chicken, and for the drink, soda. This will make the kids so happy.

Getting kids a delicious meal with make them happy and then they will love you and want you back so babysit again and again. The parents will also be really happy because then they won’t have to worry about feeding their children. Soon you will get a lot of babysitting jobs just because you feed a couple of kids yummy food that you ate too.

Lastly you always want to be in a happy mood, if you aren’t then the night before do some self care, so that you are all relaxed. Another good tip is taking some energy pills before you leave, if you don’t have any energy pills then have you favorite soda with caffeine. Next thing you know you will be full of energy. Last step, have fun when you are babysitting, don’t focus so much on rules, focus more on what the kids need. This process will get you many jobs.  Parents and kids will love you so much.

Why Kids Need Screen Time Limits

Kids, no matter if you hate them or not, can’t be on social media. Social media or Roblox or even any other game is damaging their brains. They can’t get off their screens and it’s turning them into little devils. 

Some people think of kids nowadays as cute little innocent people. Not iPad babies, when a kid is grown up, slacked off and they get whatever they want you as a parent have created the devil. 

Parents are the fault of creating these devils. As a parent you have to set boundaries you can’t just slack off on your kids and give them whatever they want. When you do this you make your kids think the world revolves around them when in reality it doesn’t. That’s how you get iPad babies or 10 year old Sephora girlies. 

This is why kids need limits on screen time and no social media. When you create a screen time you set boundaries as a parent which then doesn’t mess them up. The possibilities are endless. Kids get better sleep, they go outside more, they can get less depressed, and most importantly they don’t turn into little devils.

Roblox is not a appropriate game for kids

sophiemangelson Uncategorized , , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

 

Roblox might look like a fun safe game for kids but it really is not. Roblox has content such as sex acts, killing, the idea of murder, nudity and most dangerous. You play Roblox online and can chat with adults trying to get your information, scam you and much more. 

 

The games 

Roblox is a game that has a ton of minnie games in that one game, but some of the games are not appropriate for kids at the age of seven to nine. For example, like i said before there are minnie games, such as shedletsky’s dirty place is not appropriate for young kids at all. Shedletsky’s Dirty Place is a Roblox sex game where Shedletsky tries to do very dirty games with you and the game targets the ages thirteen and below. Kids that have played this game have been reported getting very bad nightmares. Some other roblox games that are not appropriate are, survive the killer, shower simulator, dance clubs and much more . Surviving the killer is one of those games that have extreme violence. Shower simulator falls under a sexual minnie game not appropriate for kids and dance club games are okay but should be taken seriously because if you don’t have any parental control your kid can most likely talk and chat with people all around the world. 

Your avatar

In a game you have to have a charter or yourself but when you are making your avatar you want to be careful because you can put on a body suit that makes you look naked. If parents are going to let their kid play roblox you have to restrict it and make sure you don’t have your credit card hooked up on the device. If you have your credit card hooked up to the device they’re playing on you can lose a lot of money because your kid is buying robux, what makes it worse is to buy robux all you have to do is push a few buttons and boom money, wasted. 

 

Addict 

Like some other games it is super easy for your kid to be stuck on Roblox and only play Roblox for their free time. To put things into perspective the more you’re on Roblox the more your mental health goes way down and they’re not out playing with friends and learning valuable collaboration skills and social skills. For example sometimes my brother has tantrums when he cant play Roblox or when something in his favorite minnie game is gone. When my brother started playing Roblox he was glued onto the screen for hours. 

Kidnappers

A thirteen year old girl was kidnapped from an old man she made friends with on Roblox thinking he was her age. Thankfully she was returned home safely after police found her two days after missing and arrested the man named, Howard graham. Kidnapping is such a real thing that can happen when you are not careful on Roblox {there are also kidnapping minnie games in Roblox where the player has to kidnap innocent people.} 

 

People 

I have already touched this topic a bit in this review but there is more to just talking to people.  When you play with people and talk to them long enough you can be brainwashed and you can be making a friend  that back stabs you or just targets you for really inappropriate things.

 

Mental health 

Mental health is the key for a good, nice future and when your kids’ mental health plumits because of sleep deprivation and horrific Roblox games this just makes their mental health worse. On the other hand when your kid is non stop playing Roblox that can make their mental and physical health worse. When your kids play Roblox all day they can stop wanting to go to school or do school, or hang out with friends unless they’re on Roblox too. 

 

Conclusion

The conclusion of this whole article is of course roblox is bad for kids but like I have said before, roblox is just a dirty game you kids can get addicted to, lose mental health, they can meet very dangerous people and they can play dangerous games with adult content. Sum up this whole thing, roblox is bad and kids probably should not play roblox.

Teens and phone addictions 101

Teens and phone addictions 101

Teenagers are far too addicted to their phones. Many scientific studies have proven that phones cause higher depression rates, more suicide rates, worse grades and that it ruins your brain permanently. But not all is bad when it comes to phones, there are good things too.

 

How old?

According to inc.com, “According to the latest research, on average, a child gets his or her first smartphone at 10.3 years old. That same study shows that by age 12, a full 50 percent of children have social media accounts (primarily Facebook and Instagram).” This shows that children are being introduced to social media and technology at too young of an age. Social media can cause depression, suicide, a lack of emotional connection, and a license to be hurtful to others. It is different for every kid, if your kid is irresponsible and not trustworthy, then hold back a few years. Why? Because adult content is an issue that is available to anyone who looks for it.

Your kid could also lose his or her iPhone, and who has to pay the bills? It’s not them, that’s for sure. Children develop a need for the phone at all times and addiction. When someone is addicted to something they always need it, if your kid always needs his or her phone it could cause problems in school or with friends. The attention of your child will decrease exponentially because they are on their phone. This could lead to bad grades or the phone being taken away during class. According to https://www.todaysparent.com “These days, the average age when kids get their first smartphones is around 10 years old, according to Calgary-based parenting expert Judy Arnall, author of Parenting with Patience. But exposure to mobile devices often begins at a much younger age: It’s becoming increasingly common to see toddlers wielding smartphones in strollers and preschoolers zoned out in front of iPads at restaurants.’’ So, in conclusion, it depends on your child.

 

Benefits of giving your child a phone

There are many reasons to not get your child a phone, yet there are lots of reasons why you should. 

With a phone, you are in constant contact with your child, if you need to get ahold of them while they’re out with friends or if they need to contact you. Along with being able to contact them, you can track them. And make sure they’re safe and where they told you they would be. This will allow you to keep your child safe, and you are reassured. Some other benefits are that your child could be socially included. When a child has a phone they can contact not just you but all their friends as well. But now that they have a phone they will contact their friends and hang out more with their peers. According to https://www.deseret.com/ “How many times have you rushed from work to pick up your kid from soccer practice, only to get there to wait 30 minutes because practice started late? A phone allows your child to send a quick text so you don’t waste your time. Or flip it and think of when you are running late picking up your child from dance because of traffic. Instead of your daughter being worried you have forgotten her, you shoot her a quick message.’’ Your child having a phone would not only help them but also help you.                                                       

Yes, your kid needs a cellphone. I’m not going to tell you a specific age, but it should be before high school but after 7th grade. Social media should not be allowed until their sophomore year. This way they are connected with their friends, and so when they have an extracurricular activity, you know when, where, and who. When you are older you make better decisions and so will your child with their phone.
