RTFA

Articles from across the web. Have you read something interesting and want to share it and talk about it? This is the place to do it. Don't be scared to post something with meat. We like reading and aren't scared off by needing to spend 10 minutes reading. In fact, we celebrate that!

Rules:

  1. Read the Fucking Article before you comment. If it's obvious you are just replying to the headline with your two cents and haven't even read the article, don't whine if your comment is removed.
  2. No Politics. There are a thousand other communities for that.
  3. Articles should be at least 1,000 words! We'll be a little lenient on this if the article/discussion is interesting, but if your post is a headline and a paragraph, it will probably be removed.
  4. Aussie.Zone Rules apply. This is a nice place, and we're pretty quick to stomp on nastiness.

I don't know if i'm fully there with this advice. Some of it sounds like the writer wants you to be more monotone than you feel. To control the way you express your reactions.

Expressing your own emotional reactions to/in front of a child is surely important in their development.

That said, the writer's key point about accidentally switching a child's motivations for learning things through the parent's actions is well put.
