The four-day workweek is in reality, for many working parents, a very important element to having a career that actually makes sense. But just because it makes a lot of sense doesn’t mean that it’s the policy everywhere. The good news is that the pandemic has hastened on this cultural shift, and argument, as millions of parents were kicked out of the workforce. The 32-hour week has been pilot tested by companies and countries alike....
I’m barely two weeks into quarantine and am about to break. My wife and I have been remote working for a month now and we were getting a rhythm until schools shut down. Then daycare shut down. And now we’re doing everything we can to keep up with school curriculum and trying to actually hang with our kids (reading books, playing) limit screen time (I mean, we’re up to 1....
The main reason shame, embarrassment, and self-consciousness are so difficult to identify in toddlers is because they are more complex emotions that children are not developmentally capable of expressing yet. Scientists previously thought children didn’t become self-aware until the age of 4 or 5, mostly because that’s when they were able to start verbalizing it. “Research shows that socially and emotionally, children begin to show shame when doing something wrong closer to 18 months of age,” says pediatrician Amna Husain, M....
What comes next is sure to be nothing we expected. So, how can you prepare kids to thrive in the future when you have no idea what lies ahead? It starts with raising kids who know how to talk about all of these polarizing topics — and whatever ones pop up in the future that we can’t even fathom right now. “A child’s moral compass needs to include how to deal with people whom they disagree with,” says Yong Zhao, Ph....
After two back-to-back explosive Disney+ episodes, the third episode of Loki slows things down the larger mysteries for an on-the-run episode about two Lokis (is the plural just Loki?) on the run. This episode swaps the Tom Hiddleston/Owen Wilson banter for Tom Hiddleston/Sophia Di Martino banter. The new female Loki Variant doesn’t want to be called “Loki,” and her plan has yet to be revealed. So who is she? Is she really another Loki?...
So, the cool thing about the Lechal Smart Navigation Insoles is that they use GPS and vibratory feedback (or “haptics”) to point you in the right direction. For example, if you’re walking to the park and need to turn left, your left foot vibrates. Donut shop’s down the street and to right (and you need a donut), your right foot buzzes. It reportedly uses different vibration patterns for different turns, although how it handles a roundabout is anybody’s guess....
Culper Precision, the company that made the colorful firearm, is based in Utah and makes custom modifications to guns. Last week it unveiled its newest product: a kit that allows handguns to be covered in red, blue, and yellow Legos. It’s like Lego and the NRA had a baby… yeah. On its website, Culper Precision bragged that after “building guns out of blocks for the last 30 years” they wanted the opportunity to “flip the script to aggravate Mom....

Louisiana’s first trigger law was passed in 2006, which criminalized essentially all abortions and had no exceptions to access. Earlier this year, when a draft copy of the Supreme Court’s thoughts on Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked, Louisiana enacted two additional measures to ban abortion. The laws in the state now say it’s illegal for any doctor to perform an abortion. Following the high court’s decision that overturned Roe v....
Lyft Rank: 12 2017 Rank: N/ANumber of Employees: 2,600 Though heavily invested in autonomous cars, Lyft knows it’s people that make the company flourish. The company, headquartered in the vibrant SoMa neighborhood of San Francisco, places a strong emphasis on providing an open and inclusive workplace. And that inclusivity applies to parents.

A new survey by PYMNTS and LendingClub found that 60 percent of millennials making at least $100,000 annually are living paycheck to paycheck. This is a higher rate of living paycheck to paycheck than the overall population of people making six figures, as only 40 percent of high earners said they are living on a paycheck and a prayer. Why are so many of these high-earning millennials struggling to make ends meet despite seemingly making more than enough to get by?...

If you’re concerned that it’s all gloom and doom where you live, you might want to check out this map, although it’s good to remember that the idea of “happy” is subjective, the survey considered several indications of happiness and then compiled the data in an easy-to-read map and it might help you think about continuing to celebrate the joys your life or uprooting it altogether. WalletHub wanted to find out which states across the country promote the most happiness, especially as we start to crawl out of everything the last year-and-a-half has brought with it....
Senator Ed Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts and the author of the 1999 Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), pressed Zuckerberg about the lack of accountability sites like Facebook have had ensuring children are protected online. Just this week, YouTube has been accused of collecting the data of its child users. Markey asked Zuckerberg if he would be willing to support a ‘Privacy Bill of Rights’ for children under the age 16, a bill he and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) recently proposed....
Showing Appreciation Appreciation, otherwise known as validation, is a powerful tool. Used correctly, you’re showing your partner not only that you recognize how hard he or she is working, but that you express this appreciation in small, obvious ways. As often, it’s the simplest things that have the biggest results. But it’s something all couples can be better at. One big aspect of validation is simply being there when your spouse has a problem....
In most marriages and long-term relationships, respect is more crucial than love. When one partner loses respect for the other, the relationship crumbles. But when pressed, most couples would probably affirm that, yes, they have the “respect” box checked when it comes to how they view their partner. But how do they show that respect? What does it actually look like in a marriage? Are they doing it the right way?...
Turns out, our shared love of He-Man was justified, and that’s because both the toys and the cartoon series were groundbreaking, and much more intelligent and morally complicated than anyone ever realized. In August of this year, Netflix released a documentary called The Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. And though the documentary proves He-Man was a cash-grab, it was a cash-grab with a strange amount of heart....

A delightful New York Times piece shows that he’s quickly gone from local curiosity to protected member of the community of 8,000. Like the rest of Dalkey, Damon and his family have to stay within two kilometers of their home. Unlike the rest of Dalkey, their home is a rented mansion near the homes of Irish royalty like Bono and Van Morrison....
