☆ Ivy League-trained psychologist: How I say 'no' to my kids—and why more parents need to do the same

But sometimes, you simply can't give your child exactly what they want in a given moment — and that's a good thing, according to a child psychologist. Parents who say "yes" to their kids too often— whether reflexively or as an attempt to avoid tantrums — actually do their children a disservice in the long run, Kennedy said. By giving in too easily, you can inadvertently damage necessary boundaries that help children learn appropriate, respectful behavior, she added. "In fact, I would argue, it almost becomes dangerous for our kids to conflate being valued with getting what they want."

TikTok is defending itself in federal court over legislation President Joe Biden signed in April that would ban TikTok if it doesn’t sell itself to an American owner by the time Trump takes office.

☆ Why you should think twice before giving a fitness gift

While physical activity offers mental and physical health benefits for most people, working out has become so closely associated with weight loss that an exercise gift can come across as thinly veiled body-shaming. The risks for childrenThe risks are even higher when giving fitness gifts to children and teenagers. For parents who feel a sense of responsibility to encourage an inactive child to get moving, it’s tempting to think a fitness gift could be the perfect catalyst. While gift-givers might assume they’re offering motivation to be more active, surprising someone with a fitness gift can interfere with the ability to engage in exercise, according to Schilling. Giving such a loaded gift “might actually prolong someone from engaging in health behaviors because they feel hurt by it,” Schilling said.

With hindsight, Strangio’s career can appear like it’s been hurtling toward this week’s Supreme Court appearance. Esseks often gets asked, he said, whether the ACLU tapped Strangio to present its case before the Supreme Court because he’s trans. The Supreme Court ruling also could be life-altering for physicians like Dr. Izzy Lowell, whose telehealth practice, QueerMed, provides hormone therapy and other services for transgender and nonbinary people. “I think about all of the arguments that have that have been held in the Supreme Court over just the basic dignity of people.

The risk of toxic emissions is greater when candles are scented or dyed, which is another reason why paraffin-free candles aren’t immediately in the clear. The association’s stance is based on an October 2021 study that consisted of burning 24 soy and paraffin candles, scented and unscented. However, the research was a joint effort between the NCA, the European Candle Manufacturers Association and the Latin American Candle Association. If you simply can’t resist using scented candles, look for those with essential oils or candles labeled as phthalate-free. When burning scented candles, do so in small doses to avoid headaches or irritation of the respiratory system or eyes.

The law gives tech companies one year to figure out how to keep children under 16 from using their social platforms or risk up to $32 million in fines. Australia's new law specifically bars social media companies from asking for users' IDs in an effort to protect privacy rights. Snap Inc., which owns Snapchat, said "device-level age verification" was the best possible option to meet the requirements. "We know some kids will find workarounds, but we're sending a message to social media companies to clean up their act."

SYDNEY, Australia — Google and Facebook-owner Meta Platforms urged the Australian government on Tuesday to delay a bill that will ban most forms of social media for children under 16, saying more time is needed to assess its potential impact. Google and Meta said in their submissions that the government should wait for the results of an age-verification trial before going ahead. The age-verification system may include biometrics or government identification to enforce a social media age cut-off. “In its present form, the bill is inconsistent and ineffective.”The law would force social media platforms, and not parents or children, to take reasonable steps to ensure age-verification protections are in place.

The CDC is responsible for tracking and responding to infectious diseases, developing vaccine guidelines, collecting and analyzing health data and managing public health emergencies. The CDC provides vaccine recommendations for the public, including the pediatric vaccine schedule, which is followed by schools and parents. “This puts CDC, and HHS, in the driver’s seat for determining vaccine recommendations going forward,” she said.

In Kentucky, 93.8% of these reported water systems are fluoridated, and at the bottom end, only 3.7% of water systems reported in Alaska are fluoridated. From the publicly available data on water system fluoride levels, two water systems, both located in South Carolina, reported fluoride concentration levels above WHO guidelines.

Any payout is also protected from estate taxes, even if the insured's estate and death benefit exceed the exemption.
