People who self harm only for attention are just as valid as people who self harm for any other reason.

Seriously.

Parents often make the mistake of dismissing their child’s self harm as “attention seeking” when it’s otherwise.

But what always gets me is that, even if a child is harming themselves solely to get attention, that is a huge problem they need help for!

If a person has to go as far as to cause physical harm to themselves in order to gain what they feel as the proper amount of attention, that is someone who needs help ASAP.

No matter the form, no matter the severity, no matter the reason, self harm is a sign of severe distress that deserves immediate, intense attention.

And no one will ever convince me otherwise.

A quick and dirty on why retractable leashes are the devil:

1- Your dog is 15 feet away... do you know what it just ate? Did you see the squirrel it killed before it did? How, exactly, do you plan to keep the dog out of the road?

2- If the dog gets a good running start it can pull the leash out of your hand. And if you suddenly hit the stop toggle you can harm your dog.

3- Those leashes are very sharp at speed. They can lacerate both you or your pet.

4- Congratulations, your dog just created a Gordian Knot around you, that tree, and an errant child.

5- That dog down the street is reactive to other dogs based on proximity. Your dog is now 25 feet closer to that dog.

6- Your dog just took a dump 20 feet out in a field of tall grass. Have fun playing hunt the poop.

On one hand, it's great to see people learn how to unfuck their living spaces. On the other hand, that stuff like "frequently used articles should be stored near where they're used" and "trash receptacles should be placed near activities that generate trash" are being received as radical ideas points to a serious knowledge transmission problem.

TBH probably going to use this as my training adventures with this boy. Working on more positive training methods. Eventually, he'll be a service dog but for now, still in training.

Currently working on a generalized settle in the house without the use of a placebed. It's too cold to be outside so he uses a treadmill for now once a day. We're finally interested in working again.
