I love the aliens, villains and superpower characters you mention here. I’d love to see more on those and how they can help children. I have similar characters in marketing but can see how they are so powerful for kids. Great read!
You did a great job with them! But I think there’s space for even more examples if you were to spin them out another time in their own piece. It’s a great topic.
I use the marketing ones as part of a positioning model, I should bring them out into an essay though. You’ve inspired me :)
Thanks for this message Debsss! My favourite part is the conversation guide. I do believe this is helpful even in 'adult only' conversations and would be applying it in most, if not all my conversations going forward.
This is such a heartwarming and crucial message. In the US, children are definitely coddled by their parents, and many others are living under strict regimes. Your father strikes me as having been balanced; I wish my parents had held me to such expectations re: math.
Really happy to read such a sweet story about how your dad supported you in math. I might write my own experience (the complete opposite, unfortunately).
I loved the details like translating Nigerian pidgin and the nice diagrams you made. Great job!
This piece is beautifully written. Every word flows effortlessly, making it a joy to read!
Thank you so much Eben!

Hey Claire, Thank you. What more would you like see ? I would think I explained how identifying these characters are helpful.
What would you like I zoom in on.
And do you have an essay on the similar characters in marketing you talked about ? I’ll like to read ?

Oh thank you for that! I’ll see what I can do with that.
Spinning them into their own piece is a good idea
Thank you so much Claire, looking forward to reading your piece on marketing

Thank you so much Radha! I should acknowledge you & karena for top notch editing advice.
Well I can tell you for free that my Dad was pretty extreme on a number of things. But on this front, he did it so well.
Truly grateful for that experience!
I'm really grateful for this...
One of my greatest fears about the future is repeating the same mistakes I feel my parents made with us.
I'm saving this for reflections!

Thank you for the kind words.

I wanted to give my readers value I thought visual convey that I was deliberate.
