The Mandalorian provided so many great parenting one liners, from the above mentioned “This is the way” to “I have spoken”, it’s no wonder Leah from Fort Birthday<\/a> wrote an entire blog post about parenting truths found in the series. I loved her take on it so much I couldn’t resist sharing her post.If you love it as much as I do, please give her a follow on Instagram<\/a> or Facebook<\/a>. Trust me, you won’t regret it! Leah posts some seriously amazing and relatable content that usually has me giggling and inspired.
So without further ado, I present Fort Birthday’s Parenting Truths inspired by Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian.

<\/figure>Parenting Truths inspired by Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian<\/a><\/h1>Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian are my new parenting role models. If you haven\u2019t watched Disney +\u2019s delightful series or you aren\u2019t a Star Wars fan, buckle up and bear with me.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s gonna be a bumpy landing.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>Ok, this contains enough information to amount to spoilers \u2013 and my only religion consists of returning your grocery cart and not spoiling things. So, you are warned. Spoilers and hilarious parenting tips to follow. But Disney has traditionally inspired those in me,\u00a0<\/span>The Mandalorian wasn\u2019t released yet, but Disney has inspired me before.<\/a><\/p> ![\"35](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mandalorian-Infographic-Parenting-Tips-Mommy-Blogger-Fort-Birthday3.png\")
<\/figure>Parenting Truths from Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian<\/h2>
The Mandalorian is a hard bitten bounty hunter who is a member of the Mandalorian Culture. We learn that his name is Din Djarin in the second to last episode of season 1; but he is referred to as The Mandalorian or Mando throughout the show. He takes on a bounty that only the greatest could accomplish and it turns out to be Baby Yoda.<\/p>
Now, I know it\u2019s not literally Baby Yoda. The entity is referred to as The Child or The Kid, but let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s 2019\u2019s most redeeming feature, Baby Yoda.<\/p> ![\"Baby](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sad-Baby-Yoda-1024x423.jpeg\")
Just look at this little squish. Aren\u2019t they they cutest? <\/figcaption><\/figure>The Mandalorian initially fulfills his bounty, but changes his mind when he discovers The Child is destined for, at the least, a very menacing series of medical exams. And so ensues the best set of lessons in the galaxy \u2013 or at least the outer rim \u2013 about what it\u2019s really like to be a single working parent.<\/p>
No one is ever ready to be a parent.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>You may desperately want to be a parent. Or it may have never crossed your mind. Either way, there is one truism: you don\u2019t really know what you are up against until you do it. Sort of like accepting a bounty for an unknown entity and ending up a dad.<\/p>Small Children should be wearing<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>about one additional layer compared to an adult. For example: If an Adult is comfy in a body suit and full Beskar body armor, then the child should probably be wearing jammy-jams, a robe, an nice cozy scarf. (btw, infants and young toddlers should not wear scarves, Baby Yoda is 50, so it\u2019s okay.)<\/p>The Mandalorian Keeps Parenting Baby Yoda Simple<\/strong><\/h2>Baby Yoda shows us that kids will play with anything<\/strong>, especially things that are \u2018yours\u2019. They don\u2019t need fancy toys. So just let them play with your shift knob, so long as it\u2019s not a choking hazard.<\/p> ![\"Let's](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mandalorian-Infographic-Parenting-Tips-Mommy-Blogger-Fort-Birthday13.png\")
<\/figure>Kids will put anything in their mouth.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Especially Baby Yoda will put your tools and ship parts in their mouth.<\/p>Kids will eat surprising things.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>So don\u2019t be afraid to let them try new things, like frogs. Never shame their attempts at trying something new.<\/p>Baby Yoda is 50 years old<\/strong>. And if Yoda died around 900 years, assuming a linear aging process, then 50 represents something around a 4 year old human, just like my guys. So Toddler Yoda would be more appropriate.<\/p>Toddler Yoda is capable of using the Force<\/strong>, but the cost of the \u201chand thingy\u201d is high. Much like human children, they crash hard. They also have more capacity for things that we give them credit for.<\/p> ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mandalorian-Infographic-Parenting-Tips-Mommy-Blogger-Fort-Birthday2.png\")
<\/figure>Even Single Parents aren\u2019t Parenting alone.<\/h2>
It takes a village<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 from Kuiil to Greef Karga. All the entities in life help shape and protect Baby Yoda. Finding a good sitter is HARD. You might even have to reprogram a Imperial Bounty Hunter Robot \u2013 or leave your kid with a spaceship mechanic. Working parents, even the Mandalorian, struggle with child care and drop-off.<\/p>Baby Yodas and Children alike need to see strong people of all genders shapes and colors.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Or even not-people, like IG-11. And most importantly, they need to learn that gender doesn\u2019t determine roll. Cara is a badass soldier, Peli Motto runs her own business. The Mandalorian learns about parenting from Kuiil, who approaches life with patience and affirmation.<\/p> ![\"Baby](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Cara-Kuiil-Mandalorian-on-creatures-with-stroller-1024x429.jpeg\")
Din Djarin\u2019s village (in part) <\/figcaption><\/figure>Your babysitter may do things with your kid you don\u2019t really approve<\/strong>. Your kid will love it, though. IG-11 takes Baby Yoda on a blaster fueled speeder assassination jaunt. Other people will show your kids aspects of the world you might not. It\u2019s priceless, let your kids have different experiences.<\/p>Similarly, never underestimate a droid, or a good babysitter.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>IG-11 literally gives his life to protect Baby Yoda. I\u2019m pretty darn sure that my boy\u2019s babysitter would laugh her head off if I suggested she self destruct so they boys could go on a space ship ride. Then again space ships are really really cool.<\/p>Beware of the cute child.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda is completely adorable. And people ooh and ahh over The Child, but then he force chokes one of your friends. Adorable hides little monsters with undeveloped moral compasses. Beware of the super cute child. I have two adorable ones. It\u2019s twice the risk.<\/p>The Mandalorian didn\u2019t ask to be a Parent<\/h2>
A working parent does what a Mandalorian has to do.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Which means, arranging childcare, free-range parenting, and taking your kid to work with you. Either way, a single parent, Mandalorian or otherwise, gets creative and gets the job done.<\/p>You can be a Clan of 2.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>And a Parent Child relationship doesn\u2019t need a biological bond. Mandalorians espouse a creed that involves caring for foundlings. Adoption, fostering, being a kick ass auntie, or raising a kid that isn\u2019t part of your genetic lineage is Mandalorian as heck. Families can take all shapes and can be just you and your little.<\/p>\u00a0They do what they must to survive.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>The Way of the Mandalore and the Way of the Parent are the same. \u201cMandalorian isn\u2019t a race.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a creed\u201d A cultural set of behaviors and codes, make sure you share your religion and culture with your kids. Part of MY Way as a Parent include: Schedule is supreme, here \u2013 have a popsicle, and it probably won\u2019t hurt them.<\/p>Children need \u201cPatience and affirmation\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Baby Yoda gets it from Kuiil and later IG-11, who\u2019s patience is literally infinite. My patience runs out somewhere around 6pm.<\/p> ![\"Pin](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mandalorian-Infographic-Parenting-Tips-Mommy-Blogger-Fort-Birthday10.png\")
I mean, the Mandalorian never said this, but he would have. <\/figcaption><\/figure>Children sometimes are tender.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>They try and help with magical kisses on boo-boos. Even Baby Yoda heals Karga the same way my one toddler will give me a pat after biting me.<\/p>Never be sure that your child is sleeping<\/strong>. It might be an elaborate trick and The Child is riding back to a space ship in the arms of an alien. Or has toddled out of the spaceship crib into deep trouble. Pretty much at all times suspect they are up to no good.<\/p>I mean this one is really more about me,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>but it might be worth becoming Mandalorian to never ever have to think about my hair again.\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian have good lessons of self care.<\/a><\/p>A warrior is more than his armor and good gear doesn\u2019t make a good parent.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Good gear makes life easier, but doesn\u2019t do the work for you. So shopping for the perfect crib, car seat, bottle does nothing if you don\u2019t attend to the work of parenting. There are some things that were \u201cGame Changers\u201d for me, but, in general, there wasn\u2019t anything truly unique.<\/p>All that being said, a good stroller can make or break a parent.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda has the best stroller ever. And Baby Yoda\u2019s hovercraft stroller doubles as a car\/spaceship seat. It follows The Mandalorian everywhere, adjusts it\u2019s height and speed and keeps the little tiny ones safe. Make sure to buckle up according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions.<\/p>Baby Yoda and Children can get into trouble disproportionate to their understanding of the world.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Things that seem reasonable to kids are, in fact, possibly fatal if not simply stupid. This applies to biting Storm Troopers and to climbing onto the top of the refrigerator.<\/p>Baby Yoda and Children make bad decisions because they are CHILDREN<\/h2>
Baby Yoda and children are dangerous when quiet.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>If they get quiet they are most certainly up to no good. Beware a conscious toddler who you haven\u2019t heard from in 30 minutes. The worst is when they are noisy and THEN get quiet.<\/p>Kids love levers.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>An unattended child or Baby Yoda will almost crash a spaceship. But just cause they want to work the levers. Kids love levers. Or maybe because they don\u2019t want to go back to Nevarro. Bottom line: don\u2019t assume motivation, ask your kids why. But accept that the answer might be \u201cBecause\u201d. Or Poop.<\/p> ![\"Sages](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sages-entertainment-Baby-Yoda-Balloon-1024x1024.jpg\")
Baby Yoda has inspired a generation of parents and kids. \u00a0<\/span> Sages Entertainment showing off their skills<\/a> \u00a0<\/a><\/span> <\/span> <\/figcaption><\/figure>When your kids begin gaining their independence it\u2019s amazing.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>But practicing their steps (literally) is an exercise in biting your knuckles. Watching Baby Yoda walk is adorably stressful. Is he going to tip over? Trip over his massive clothing? And\u00a0<\/span>OMG, so VERY VERY slow. Hurry up. Fine, I\u2019m just going to carry you.<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span>And when they learn to run. Oh my G-O-S-H.<\/p>Kids will try to swallow bites way too big.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>\u201cHey. Spit that out.\u201d \u2013 the Mandalorian.<\/p>Just spend time with your kids.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda just wants to hang out with The Mandalorian. Just like your kids want to hang out with you. It doesn\u2019t matter if you have an activity planned or an \u2018enriching\u2019 field trip. Your kid just wants to be with you. Go on adventures with them. Adventures can be anything you call an \u201cadventure\u201d.<\/p>Sometimes You just give something to your kid to get them stop bugging you.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Baby Yoda wants the knob, give him the freaking knob. Don\u2019t ever ever give your children something to play with you aren\u2019t willing for them to consider a toy FOREVER.<\/p> ![\"How](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mandalorian-Infographic-Parenting-Tips-Mommy-Blogger-Fort-Birthday12.png\")
<\/figure>Kids like pressing buttons.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Especially your buttons. Baby Yoda will look you square in the eye while their tiny little green paw flicks another button.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>We go to\u00a0<\/span>Port Discovery Children\u2019s museum<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in Baltimore and there are SO MANY Buttons to push \u2013 So they push mine a little less.<\/p>Parents are at the whim of their love.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>All sense flies out the window when Baby Yoda or your kid coos at you. They learn this early and weaponize it. \u201cCooooo\u201d *me turning to goo*<\/p>Kids and Baby Yoda love broth<\/strong>. Seriously, put some hot water on something, then it\u2019s soup. For real, Spaghetti Soup, that\u2019s a thing at our house. Hambone, hot water, boom you got yourself a soup. (Kudos to you for getting the Arrested Development joke here).<\/p>Leg hugs are the best.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>When you are only 2.5 feet tall you have limited options for hugging. Turns out getting leg hugs are pretty darn good. Kids and Baby Yoda show affection physically the best way they know how. And they get moved in the moment so you never know when you might get mugged by a hug.<\/p> ![\"Pin](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Mandalorian-Infographic-Parenting-Tips-Mommy-Blogger-Fort-Birthday5.png\")
Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian are so much like me and my toddlers <\/figcaption><\/figure>The Mandalorian says,\u00a0\u201cI can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold.<\/strong>\u201d It\u2019s pretty much exactly what I say to my kid after a day at the pool. Kids like choices, even if they are empty options. And you have to prepare yourself for them to choose the Hard Way. Either way it\u2019s gonna have to be The Way.<\/p>(Interstellar) Travel is good for young kids.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda is better traveled than I am, and if you start traveling with your kids young, it is easier. Or at least your expectations are manageable about what you can put up in the transition from airports or while jumping to lightspeed. And seeing different places and trying new things is great for kids.<\/p>The best way to you raise a kid the same way you program a robot<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>I spent day after day reinforcing its development \u2013 with patience and affirmation. It developed a personality as its experiences grew. \u2014 KUIIL ABOUT IG-11 \u2013 The best way to you raise a kid the same way you program a robot.<\/p> ![\"This](\"https:\/\/fortbirthday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Next-Year-resolutions-More-Parenting-Inspiration-from-Mommy-Blogger-Fort-Birthday81-683x1024.png\")
<\/figure>Aside from being on of the best things that ever happened to the Star Wars Universe I really enjoyed the Mandalorian. For me, the best parts of the show are those moments when The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda have these magical Moments that are so relatable as a parent.<\/p>
The idea that a parent would face an army and stare into the face of death for their child really resonated with me. I could see it. Gimme some Whistling Birds or a jet pack and I\u2019ll take them all on to keep my babies safe.<\/p>

Ok, this contains enough information to amount to spoilers \u2013 and my only religion consists of returning your grocery cart and not spoiling things. So, you are warned. Spoilers and hilarious parenting tips to follow. But Disney has traditionally inspired those in me,\u00a0<\/span>The Mandalorian wasn\u2019t released yet, but Disney has inspired me before.<\/a><\/p> The Mandalorian is a hard bitten bounty hunter who is a member of the Mandalorian Culture. We learn that his name is Din Djarin in the second to last episode of season 1; but he is referred to as The Mandalorian or Mando throughout the show. He takes on a bounty that only the greatest could accomplish and it turns out to be Baby Yoda.<\/p> Now, I know it\u2019s not literally Baby Yoda. The entity is referred to as The Child or The Kid, but let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s 2019\u2019s most redeeming feature, Baby Yoda.<\/p> The Mandalorian initially fulfills his bounty, but changes his mind when he discovers The Child is destined for, at the least, a very menacing series of medical exams. And so ensues the best set of lessons in the galaxy \u2013 or at least the outer rim \u2013 about what it\u2019s really like to be a single working parent.<\/p> No one is ever ready to be a parent.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>You may desperately want to be a parent. Or it may have never crossed your mind. Either way, there is one truism: you don\u2019t really know what you are up against until you do it. Sort of like accepting a bounty for an unknown entity and ending up a dad.<\/p> Small Children should be wearing<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>about one additional layer compared to an adult. For example: If an Adult is comfy in a body suit and full Beskar body armor, then the child should probably be wearing jammy-jams, a robe, an nice cozy scarf. (btw, infants and young toddlers should not wear scarves, Baby Yoda is 50, so it\u2019s okay.)<\/p> Baby Yoda shows us that kids will play with anything<\/strong>, especially things that are \u2018yours\u2019. They don\u2019t need fancy toys. So just let them play with your shift knob, so long as it\u2019s not a choking hazard.<\/p> Kids will put anything in their mouth.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Especially Baby Yoda will put your tools and ship parts in their mouth.<\/p> Kids will eat surprising things.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>So don\u2019t be afraid to let them try new things, like frogs. Never shame their attempts at trying something new.<\/p> Baby Yoda is 50 years old<\/strong>. And if Yoda died around 900 years, assuming a linear aging process, then 50 represents something around a 4 year old human, just like my guys. So Toddler Yoda would be more appropriate.<\/p> Toddler Yoda is capable of using the Force<\/strong>, but the cost of the \u201chand thingy\u201d is high. Much like human children, they crash hard. They also have more capacity for things that we give them credit for.<\/p> It takes a village<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 from Kuiil to Greef Karga. All the entities in life help shape and protect Baby Yoda. Finding a good sitter is HARD. You might even have to reprogram a Imperial Bounty Hunter Robot \u2013 or leave your kid with a spaceship mechanic. Working parents, even the Mandalorian, struggle with child care and drop-off.<\/p> Baby Yodas and Children alike need to see strong people of all genders shapes and colors.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Or even not-people, like IG-11. And most importantly, they need to learn that gender doesn\u2019t determine roll. Cara is a badass soldier, Peli Motto runs her own business. The Mandalorian learns about parenting from Kuiil, who approaches life with patience and affirmation.<\/p> Your babysitter may do things with your kid you don\u2019t really approve<\/strong>. Your kid will love it, though. IG-11 takes Baby Yoda on a blaster fueled speeder assassination jaunt. Other people will show your kids aspects of the world you might not. It\u2019s priceless, let your kids have different experiences.<\/p> Similarly, never underestimate a droid, or a good babysitter.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>IG-11 literally gives his life to protect Baby Yoda. I\u2019m pretty darn sure that my boy\u2019s babysitter would laugh her head off if I suggested she self destruct so they boys could go on a space ship ride. Then again space ships are really really cool.<\/p> Beware of the cute child.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda is completely adorable. And people ooh and ahh over The Child, but then he force chokes one of your friends. Adorable hides little monsters with undeveloped moral compasses. Beware of the super cute child. I have two adorable ones. It\u2019s twice the risk.<\/p> A working parent does what a Mandalorian has to do.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Which means, arranging childcare, free-range parenting, and taking your kid to work with you. Either way, a single parent, Mandalorian or otherwise, gets creative and gets the job done.<\/p> You can be a Clan of 2.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>And a Parent Child relationship doesn\u2019t need a biological bond. Mandalorians espouse a creed that involves caring for foundlings. Adoption, fostering, being a kick ass auntie, or raising a kid that isn\u2019t part of your genetic lineage is Mandalorian as heck. Families can take all shapes and can be just you and your little.<\/p> \u00a0They do what they must to survive.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>The Way of the Mandalore and the Way of the Parent are the same. \u201cMandalorian isn\u2019t a race.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a creed\u201d A cultural set of behaviors and codes, make sure you share your religion and culture with your kids. Part of MY Way as a Parent include: Schedule is supreme, here \u2013 have a popsicle, and it probably won\u2019t hurt them.<\/p> Children need \u201cPatience and affirmation\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Baby Yoda gets it from Kuiil and later IG-11, who\u2019s patience is literally infinite. My patience runs out somewhere around 6pm.<\/p> Children sometimes are tender.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>They try and help with magical kisses on boo-boos. Even Baby Yoda heals Karga the same way my one toddler will give me a pat after biting me.<\/p> Never be sure that your child is sleeping<\/strong>. It might be an elaborate trick and The Child is riding back to a space ship in the arms of an alien. Or has toddled out of the spaceship crib into deep trouble. Pretty much at all times suspect they are up to no good.<\/p> I mean this one is really more about me,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>but it might be worth becoming Mandalorian to never ever have to think about my hair again.\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian have good lessons of self care.<\/a><\/p> A warrior is more than his armor and good gear doesn\u2019t make a good parent.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Good gear makes life easier, but doesn\u2019t do the work for you. So shopping for the perfect crib, car seat, bottle does nothing if you don\u2019t attend to the work of parenting. There are some things that were \u201cGame Changers\u201d for me, but, in general, there wasn\u2019t anything truly unique.<\/p> All that being said, a good stroller can make or break a parent.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda has the best stroller ever. And Baby Yoda\u2019s hovercraft stroller doubles as a car\/spaceship seat. It follows The Mandalorian everywhere, adjusts it\u2019s height and speed and keeps the little tiny ones safe. Make sure to buckle up according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions.<\/p> Baby Yoda and Children can get into trouble disproportionate to their understanding of the world.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Things that seem reasonable to kids are, in fact, possibly fatal if not simply stupid. This applies to biting Storm Troopers and to climbing onto the top of the refrigerator.<\/p> Baby Yoda and children are dangerous when quiet.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>If they get quiet they are most certainly up to no good. Beware a conscious toddler who you haven\u2019t heard from in 30 minutes. The worst is when they are noisy and THEN get quiet.<\/p> Kids love levers.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>An unattended child or Baby Yoda will almost crash a spaceship. But just cause they want to work the levers. Kids love levers. Or maybe because they don\u2019t want to go back to Nevarro. Bottom line: don\u2019t assume motivation, ask your kids why. But accept that the answer might be \u201cBecause\u201d. Or Poop.<\/p> When your kids begin gaining their independence it\u2019s amazing.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>But practicing their steps (literally) is an exercise in biting your knuckles. Watching Baby Yoda walk is adorably stressful. Is he going to tip over? Trip over his massive clothing? And\u00a0<\/span>OMG, so VERY VERY slow. Hurry up. Fine, I\u2019m just going to carry you.<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span>And when they learn to run. Oh my G-O-S-H.<\/p> Kids will try to swallow bites way too big.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>\u201cHey. Spit that out.\u201d \u2013 the Mandalorian.<\/p> Just spend time with your kids.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda just wants to hang out with The Mandalorian. Just like your kids want to hang out with you. It doesn\u2019t matter if you have an activity planned or an \u2018enriching\u2019 field trip. Your kid just wants to be with you. Go on adventures with them. Adventures can be anything you call an \u201cadventure\u201d.<\/p> Sometimes You just give something to your kid to get them stop bugging you.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Baby Yoda wants the knob, give him the freaking knob. Don\u2019t ever ever give your children something to play with you aren\u2019t willing for them to consider a toy FOREVER.<\/p> Kids like pressing buttons.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Especially your buttons. Baby Yoda will look you square in the eye while their tiny little green paw flicks another button.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>We go to\u00a0<\/span>Port Discovery Children\u2019s museum<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in Baltimore and there are SO MANY Buttons to push \u2013 So they push mine a little less.<\/p> Parents are at the whim of their love.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>All sense flies out the window when Baby Yoda or your kid coos at you. They learn this early and weaponize it. \u201cCooooo\u201d *me turning to goo*<\/p> Kids and Baby Yoda love broth<\/strong>. Seriously, put some hot water on something, then it\u2019s soup. For real, Spaghetti Soup, that\u2019s a thing at our house. Hambone, hot water, boom you got yourself a soup. (Kudos to you for getting the Arrested Development joke here).<\/p> Leg hugs are the best.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>When you are only 2.5 feet tall you have limited options for hugging. Turns out getting leg hugs are pretty darn good. Kids and Baby Yoda show affection physically the best way they know how. And they get moved in the moment so you never know when you might get mugged by a hug.<\/p> The Mandalorian says,\u00a0\u201cI can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold.<\/strong>\u201d It\u2019s pretty much exactly what I say to my kid after a day at the pool. Kids like choices, even if they are empty options. And you have to prepare yourself for them to choose the Hard Way. Either way it\u2019s gonna have to be The Way.<\/p> (Interstellar) Travel is good for young kids.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Baby Yoda is better traveled than I am, and if you start traveling with your kids young, it is easier. Or at least your expectations are manageable about what you can put up in the transition from airports or while jumping to lightspeed. And seeing different places and trying new things is great for kids.<\/p> The best way to you raise a kid the same way you program a robot<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>I spent day after day reinforcing its development \u2013 with patience and affirmation. It developed a personality as its experiences grew. \u2014 KUIIL ABOUT IG-11 \u2013 The best way to you raise a kid the same way you program a robot.<\/p> Aside from being on of the best things that ever happened to the Star Wars Universe I really enjoyed the Mandalorian. For me, the best parts of the show are those moments when The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda have these magical Moments that are so relatable as a parent.<\/p> The idea that a parent would face an army and stare into the face of death for their child really resonated with me. I could see it. Gimme some Whistling Birds or a jet pack and I\u2019ll take them all on to keep my babies safe.<\/p> What did you learn from the Mandalorian?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fort Birthdays take on Parenting Truths found in the Disney+ series The Mandalorian <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2334,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,15,18],"tags":[33,73,45,47,49,52],"class_list":["post-2333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adventures","category-mom-life","category-parenting","tag-33","tag-73","tag-motherhood","tag-mothers","tag-new-years","tag-parenting"],"yoast_head":"\n<\/figure>Parenting Truths from Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian<\/h2>
