Medium

Communicating with children is basically high-stakes hostage negotiation where the negotiator is covered in jam and you are one 'why' away from a total system crash. This breakdown replaces vague parenting vibes with concrete tactical maneuvers, from the low-profile tactical crouch to the high-decibel 'Kaboom' finale. Follow these steps to stop looking like a threatening skyscraper and start engaging with the tiny humans without your brain hitting a 404 error.
