  • Alternative, it’s a different thing, but:

    1. Bake potatoes until deep brown; oil and salt them, if preferred
    2. Scoop them out entirely into a big bowl, be gentle but try to get all the potato without causing structural issues to the remaining skin.
    3. Skins go back in the oven, empty side up whilst you do the rest, should be crisping up but not shrivelling.
    4. Mash the scooped potato until smooth, adding black pepper, cream, cheese, bacon etc.
    5. Remove skins and refill them as densely as possible
    6. Mozzarella on top, parsley, herbs etc. to taste
    7. Back in the oven until looking good and ready
    8. Don’t burn yourself



  • My advice is yeah maybe she’s just not quite ready yet. There’s only so far encouragement will take her, she has to want to for herself. My eldest is now fully autonomous, but it did take another year after that initial 2-2.5yo curiosity for the drive to be there to go themself. Just make sure the option is there for her, be there to help, they dont need rewards, stickers etc. being nice about the messes and gentle reassurance without pressure is the best thing you can do for them! Good luck!







  • I think the main thing is they have the tiredness, they just need a sort of meditative state. Some like music, some need lights on intense Lego, even screen time can chill some minds to the right state. I wouldn’t rule anything out, and it’ll probably change with time. It’s like they’re all spikey in the brain and you need to smooth that shit out with an activity, and for some kids that’s dark and quiet, bless them, others, it’s not.
