They say it is very important to talk, read, and sing to your kids, starting from birth. Talk to them, listen to what they say. It helps in brain development and self esteem. Talk, sing, play. My baby bassets are now 12 and 13. I have talked, read, and sung to them all their lives. They know I value them and they are fun, smart, loving children. I have one question though. So how much do I have to listen to them talk about Minecraft? Is ten minutes a week good enough? Ten minutes is just about all I can handle. After ten minutes my body’s flight or fight response starts to kick in. One tactic that I have started to use, is when the Minecraft conversation starts getting too long, I mention that I want to watch Frozen 2. I love that movie. I could watch it again and again. Let’s be clear though. I can watch it an “Adult Again and Again” which is maybe once every few months. I am not talking about a “Kid Again and Again” which is fifty times in one week. No, just no. I know threatening Frozen 2 on my baby bassets might sound cruel, but if I have to hear another long drawn out explanation of how they built their house, or the value of diamonds or rubies, and something about a pickaxe. Nope.. NOPE NOPE NOPE.
