Toddlerhood Decoded
Like Duolingo, but for Toddlerhood Decoded. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
A short one: 12 levels across 2 sections, about 24 minutes end to end, roughly 5 days at five minutes a day. It moves through The Immediate Shift and The Deep Logic. It assumes you already know the basics.
