Politicians don't seem to be doing this too much nowadays. Don't know about the other runners, but Obama's tweets are mostly coherent, with just a pile of gibberish hashtags appended on the end. Davidy22 (talk) 10:30, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

I would love to know your opinion now after four years of Trump, lol! -- The Cat Lady (talk) 13:32, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
Additionally politicians may be tempted to use SMS abbreviations in order to come across as younger and aware of youth culture, while their target audience actually doesn't use these abbreviations at all. 83.84.33.170 23:23, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

There's also a bit of political commentary here, which has so far been skirted over, suggesting that much of the cheerleading for (the highly libertarian) Ron Paul comes from youthful and, by implication, politically naive commentators. 14:15, 15 March 2013 (UTC)Chris C

But how is that much different from the 2008 election of our current president which had a very youthful and as you said "naive" 63.149.29.1 21:44, 11 October 2013 (UTC)Robert
You seem to be missing a noun and a question mark at the end of your comment. I'm guessing your point is "hey meanie, don't just mock Ron Paul supporters (of which you are presumably one) Obama-ites deserve a kicking too as he is a LIAR". Sure. Consider that Obama heavily implied and at other times outright promised a focus on civil rights prior to election and in the early months of his tenure. For usonian voters of all ages who wanted to do the rest of the world a favor and get the west back on track after eight years of Bush's neoconservatism, Obama was the only realistic choice. The fact that he hasn't fully delivered, especially on Guantanamo, is beside the point. Ron Paul would be facing even more opposition, given that he is starkly unwilling to compromise -- but that unemergent forthrightness is part of his appeal to right libertarians. -- Cockhorse (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I tried to fix the issues with the explanation, but would love someone to look over my edits. If I might say, this explanation was a mess before. It might still be, for all I know. Due to this uncertainty, I'm leaving the incomplete tag. 162.158.255.84 05:50, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

I reviewed the explanation and it looks great! I removed the incomplete tag. As an additional suggestion, we may want to add references to xkcds 1414 and 1045, both of which are about how sms and twitter actuwlly produce better writers/writing. I wasn't sure how to do it so I thought I'd leave a note.Bbruzzo (talk) 02:46, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

I think someone keeps trying to slip an ad into this explanation, can someone (other than user JackHirschfeld) either prove me wrong or do something about that? 141.101.105.151 07:01, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

This reminds me of abbreviating during a game like people just typing "wall" instead of "a wall is coming". Anyone else reminded of that?

Getting ready for school: practical tips for parents

1. Physical development

Nurture your child's interest in sports and physical activity from childhood. Personal example works best here. Take the time to actively exercise with your children at home and outdoors. Invite your child to try different sports: swimming, gymnastics, martial arts, dancing. Let him choose what he really likes. If your son or daughter reminds you of the next training session and tries not to miss a class a week - that's success.

2. Psychological development

Even an outwardly calm and confident child can be difficult to adapt to an unfamiliar school environment. What is important to teach children to help them with their transition to a new stage in life?

3. Teach your child to manage their emotions and think positively.

Learning to control emotions like anger, anger, or resentment will keep your child from doing or saying rash things. Explain to your child that there are many problems. But if you think positively, it will be easier to look at the situation from the other side and find the right solution. Approach the matter consciously: model different life situations and help your child figure out together what to do in this or that case.

4. train your child's attention and ability to concentrate.

Teach your child to always bring things to a conclusion. Give him or her tasks that are realistic to accomplish in half an hour. Choose not only his or her favorite activities, but also those where the child can resist. If you were able to concentrate on the task for at least 20 minutes, and bring it to a result, you have done it.

5. Nurture responsibility and develop willpower.

Teach to dream, set goals, and achieve them, despite difficulties. At first help with external stimuli, but explain that the strongest motivation is his or her own. Give your child adult tasks. Let him have his own list of fixed tasks around the house: water the flowers or wipe the dust, walk or feed the pet.

6. Intellectual Development

Reading, writing, counting and solving simple math problems will be taught to your child at school. A more valuable thing parents can do for their children is to teach them how to think correctly, reason, analyze information and see what is important. What exactly should be done?

a. "Ignite" cognitive interest and stimulate learning new things: in books, videos, at home and on walks. Organize a variety of leisure activities for your child, so they understand how much is new and interesting in the world and what they have to learn about.

b. Develop speech and communication skills. Teach your child to find common language with peers and adults. It is important to teach the child how to listen, how to argue their point of view and how to enjoy the process of communication.

c. Develop logical thinking. A child can learn to solve typical problems on math lessons. But in order for it to successfully cope with tasks with asterisks and household tasks, it does not do without the ability to reason and think outside the box. These skills can and should be trained. How?

For this purpose, it is necessary to regularly perform non-standard tasks and solve problems on logic. An additional benefit: the child develops persistence and a habit of bringing things to an end. Read more about how and why to develop logic.

Where to look for tasks?

Ten years ago, we thought only of anthologies and children's magazines. Now a lot more high-quality interesting materials can be found on the Internet.
