I'm really excited about this and thanks to @Blue Mojo for planting the seed. This can be done with our without children, although there are special kid activities included. This can be done solo or put a team together. Only requirement, each team must have one member part of this community to post results. Next clue drops in 2 days.

Due to a family emergency, I’ve had to reschedule Beginning Guitar with @Rene Kerkdyk on June 6 and The Playful Shift on June 7. My daughter was attacked by a dog and landed in the ER tonight. I’m watching the baby and will be helping her for over the weekend while her husband is at work and will be limited online. Thanks for understanding.

Hello, most of you don't know me as I'm not on here all that often, mostly because I'm either running a math learning center or building various things to help overwhelmed parents. I've done a wide variety of things throughout my life, but always tend to come back to teaching (2 legs, 4 legs, it doesn't matter, LOL). I've noticed people (kids included) tend to always have a good reason for their behavior. They might not always understand the reason, but it's there. Recently, I started a blog (PlayEdVenture.com) and well, one thing led to another (involving a child who was hard to reach at the math center, a couple of conversations with her father and a late night talk with ChatGPT) and I figured out I can finally create the tool I've been wanting to create for years. I'd already shared the 'lite' version here (my GPT) but I'm also working on a more robust free-standing tool - the Resistance Reset Coach™ App. No need for an account with any AI tool needed and while the premise is the same as the GPT, it also allows parents to do things like save conversations, print them off and, probably most importantly, continue the conversation.... how did the advice work? Based on that feedback, the tool refines suggestions. At this time, anything saved, is saved only to your device so no one else has access to it but you can go back to it later and sometimes, if relevant, saved conversations might be referenced by the tool. Books are great, courses are great, but time is often at a premium and the reason I have developed this tool is to give parents a way to get advice in the moment. I've done quite a bit of testing on my own, but my son is nearly 30 and what I need is some real life testing... real parents (or grandparents) with real kids. Do the suggestions work? Do they make sense? If you try out the tool, it is yours to keep using (if you like it) as my way of thanking you for helping me move this project forward. :) Thanks for considering!

Did you know that there are classrooms? I'm slowly organizing all of our past play prompts and ideas into structured classrooms. I've been suggesting the Curious Kitchen Lab as a starting point for this week's activities with the theme of #Welcome to Mix, Bubble, and Bake where you can help. 1. Visit the lab. 2. After you read the content, click the checkmark in the top right corner, this records your progress and helps me decide if the labs are working. 3. If you wait to do an activity in the future, you will find a link to the related discussion, this way, you can always join in no matter when you do the activity. Let me know if this method of organizing is helpful. Each month I'll introduce a new lab - Curious Kitchen, Play, Build, and Story. I'm enjoying creating with you and look forward to making this community more helpful.
