I guess we're making spaghetti tacos tonight.

我想今晚要來做義大利麵塔可捲了

And if you don't know what a gentle parent is,

如果你不知道什麼是「溫和家長」

Letting your child kind of have autonomy over themselves and their lives,

說「溫和家長」不應該對小孩說「不」

我的小孩在他們一生中，一定會被拒絕

and so shielding them from that is silly.

所以保護他們不被拒絕是愚蠢的

So, I wanted to try something for a week.

所以，我想要嘗試一件事一個禮拜

I wanted to try saying yes to my kids for a week.

我想要對我的小孩說「好」一個禮拜

because, if not, my house would probably have burnt down.

因為不設的話，我的房子可能會被燒毀

First, I did not let my kids know that I was doing this,

首先，我沒有讓我的小孩知道我正在這樣做

So they had no idea that this was happening.

Second, there were some things that needed to still happen.

There are certain hygiene-oriented things

that need to happen, health-oriented things,

like you can't have cookies for every meal.

But beyond that, I let things go and I said yes.

除此之外，我就放手然後說「好」

Usually, I'd have them watch a little T.V.

but they both are hungry, apparently starving to death.

We're walking and he wanted to ride his scooter.

我們正在走路，而他想要滑他的滑板車

當然，我本來一定會說「不」的

I know that we'll get there, get his hair cut,

我知道我們會到那裡，剪好頭髮

然後最後就會是我拖著他的滑板車

and his younger brother all the way home.

我們成功抵達那裡，讓人驚訝的是

he rode his scooter the whole way back, too.

and that was kind of my first realization of like,

So they both wanted chicken nuggets for dinner

and they asked if we could sit and watch Adventure Time

然後問可不可以一邊看探險活寶

So the one thing that I was most nervous about

如果你跟我一樣是個忙碌的家長

you know what it's like getting meals on the table.

你知道要生出一頓飯是什麼狀況

So I have this rotation of standard meals

because you got something good, you just keep doing it.

因為當你找到好方案時，你就會繼續做下去

I'm gonna attempt to put it in a hard taco shell

我會嘗試把它放到硬的夾餅裡面

because I feel like a soft one with soft spaghetti

因為我覺得軟的餅配上軟的義大利麵

that my kids caught on to during the week,

that I was being a lot more flexible with.

他們選擇自己要吃什麼中學到了

is that they're more likely to eat the entire plate

if they've chosen what they're gonna have.

如果他們選擇自己要吃什麼的時候

And ultimately, they'll get what they need nutrition wise,

最終，他們會攝取到需要的營養

So this week wasn't all rainbows and butterflies.

這星期也不是都是美好的粉紅泡泡而已

that I definitely should continue to say no to.

The kids really wanted Starbucks for breakfast,

And we have a lot of errands to run today,
