Oh my.
I love a so-called Beaver Moon because beaver is one of the phonetically funniest of words. Say it and pay attention to what your mouth is doing. Also, if you say it steadily over and over, not too fast, it sounds like a French police car. And you can innocently call it a Fanny Moon or a Beaver Butt and then when they look at you like, /What?/ you say, deadpan, "What." It's a kaleidoscope of possibilities.
Ignoring your child when they cry is sometimes the right thing to do. Sort of depends on the reason they're crying. If it's just because they didn't get their way or are in dire need of a nap, that's not the same thing as banging into the kitchen table because you suddenly aren't as short as you were yesterday. And kids still need to learn to cry. Emotions are real and sometimes should be allowed to run their course (time, place, and reason permitting).
