[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My PDA 10 year old can’t even tolerate camp. [/quote] Mine either. Or sunscreen or laced shoes. Intentionally teaching is a turnoff for PDA. Especially parent to child which is a hierarchy imbalance. For our science nerd PDAer she’s got to “discover it” on her own.We found that YouTube videos about the science of whatever life lesson needs to be learned are useful. It spurs curiosity, then she’ll try on her own terms. Something like sunscreen- she’ll watch a million videos on the sun, explainer videos of how sun causes skin cancer, all about skin cancer, then to videos from a chemist on formulations. Then she “chooses” which brand she will tolerate. It’s a process. It’s tedious. But sometimes the only way. [/quote]
