But there's a different type of expertise and expert knowledge, that isn't often regarded as such in our society: I was wondering if Margot Chu and her husband Al can walk their 5-year-old daughter to a nearby school, or if it would be too far. So I asked in r/AskParents, and got back some lovely answers. Much thanks to those people, who shared their hard-won knowledge! https://www.reddit.com/r/AskParents/comments/12oo7u9/can_a_5yearold_walk_25_of_a_mile_how_long/ 2/2

Addendum: to be clear, I'm calling "parenting and child-rearing in general" a field of expertise, not just knowing how far a child of a given age can walk! And yes, I am *damned well* calling parenting and child-rearing "expertise" or "expert knowledge". At least for some people. I know there are those who do it very badly, but there are also those who do this incredibly hard thing very well, and to them: 🫡 3/2 #WritersCoffeeClub
