Tetanus is a bacterial infection that causes severe muscle spasms, not a way for turkeys to show off. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, can cause:
• Difficulty swallowing
• Difficulty breathing
• Blood clots
• Bone fractures

Childhood vaccination in the U.S. has been so successful that serious diseases like tetanus are practically unheard of in children. Let's keep it that way.

What do you say when you don’t want your kid to repeat a behavior?

If you’ve said something like…
👉🏽 “You better never let me catch you doing that again!”
👉🏽 “I better not hear you fighting with your sister anymore.”
👉🏽 “I don’t want to see any more grades below a C this year.”

…you’re not alone. 🙋🏽‍♀️

But when you think about it, what we’re really saying with phrases like these is, “Next time you do this, you should be sneakier and learn how to hide things from me better.” 😬 😬 😬

Parents genuinely want their kids to avoid bad or dangerous behaviors, but negative behavior is frustrating, so it’s easy to say whatever you feel needs to be said to stop it ***now***.

It’s worth it in the long run to get in the habit of using phrases like these instead, which are much more helpful in supporting kids in making better choices. 💫
