HOW THE FUCK ARE THESE BABIES SWIMMING I AM 21 AND CANNOT SWIM THIS IS SOME FUCK SHIT
Babies instinctively know when to hold their breathes!
Babies are amazingwhat
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? I HAVE TO HOLD MY NOSE AND THIS BABY DOESN’T HAVE TOO!?
What shitty parent discovered this
babies are naturally able to swim hello they just spent nine moths in amiotic fluid this is instinctive so no, parent is not shitty, parent is re-enforcing baby’s natural instinctive behaviour.
parent is good for doing this because parent is basically saying “yes the behaviours you were born with are great!”
Yup, if babies are ‘taught’ (allowed) to swim before they are six weeks old, they never lose the instincts they were born with that lets them hold their head above water and hold their breath when they need to. SCIENCE, man.
i remember hearing my elementary teacher talking about the different ethnic groups and she talked about how the Badjao people, who are primarily sea-dwelling and nomadic, teach their kids how to swim by tossing the small babies into the water because a baby’s first instinct was to swim. I dunno how accurate she was but the Badjao are amazing swimmers

"I like teenagers. They are in the area of conflict between the person that they are, the one they want to be and the one they might be. I want to sit down at the table with them when they discuss true love, great loss, the big philosophical questions for the first time. And I want to be at least a small voice in their heads, when they experience these things for the first time."
