Like the vast majority of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and most superhero movies for that matter) nothing you see on screen is a direct analog for what happened in the various comics. Yes, John Walker (the new Cap) existed in the comics in various forms, but this version of him already seems to be a little bit different. He also doesn’t appear to have super-strength created by that serum from the WWII-era....

But as good as this kind of parenting might be for children, research suggests parents aren’t purely motivated by an instinctual urge to nurture. Anxiety is the driver. As the gap between the haves and have-nots grows, obstacles to financial success and stability — toward grandkids, one might say — have multiplied. Parents are compelled to invest time and money in raising a child even as traditional social supports are withdrawn and returns diminish, because failing to do so risks the family future....

In short, discipline is about teaching children a system of values that they can use to guide them through life. This system can lead to a healthier emotional life that promotes the development of self-motivation, self-control, personality, and decision-making processes. In other words, discipline allows children to develop self-discipline, and helps them become emotionally and socially mature adults.

It’s time to tear down the fences and open up their playgrounds. Yes, playgrounds (and recreational fields) are the way for public schools to better connect with the community. A recent report by The Trust for Public Land (TPL), a non-profit with a mandate to increase public access to greenspace, points to just how vital school property could be to their surrounding communities. They note that if public schoolyards were redesigned to be green, vibrant, public parks, 20 million people would suddenly have access to a park within a 10-minute walk to their home....

“Most men have never heard about this kind of treatment before,” says David Shusterman, M.D., the founder of NY Urology and a urologist who practices ESWT. “It is not extreme in any way, on the contrary, a completely natural and well-tested method of treatment.” It sounds a little too good — and, at the same time, too horrifying — to be true, but ESWT has been around for decades. Physicians use it to treat arthritis, tennis elbow, and kidney stones, and it has been used in Europe to treat erectile dysfunction for years....

Mary Poppins is rightly considered a classic kid’s film and that is mostly thanks to Julie Andrews‘ phenomenal portrayal of the titular nanny. Andrews is so effortlessly charming in the role that everyone she encounters almost immediately falls in love with her. And honestly, what’s not to love? She’s a panacea that literally floats down from the heavens. Mary Poppins is kind, caring, and has superpowers that include transporting children into chalk paintings and cleaning entire homes with an I Dream of Jeannie-esque nod....

Save for some positive local segments, I don’t usually let my kids watch the news. I figure at six- and 10-years-old they’re too young to properly grasp the complexity and horror of politics, the bloody arithmetic of the most recent shooting rampage, or the mechanics of the endless rolling war machine. And I don’t want them to worry. I don’t want to them to think the world is ending — even when it might be....

This week, Variety reported that Steven Spielberg isn’t going to direct Indy 5, which is a little like The Rolling Stones going on tour without Mick Jagger. Regardless of what you think of Spielberg, he created a pop culture phenomenon when he and George Lucas collaborated on Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981. That said, maybe it’s fine that Spielberg is moving on because this same news also tells us that James Mangold, the guy who gave Wolverine a major depressive disorder and a kill count to match in Logan, could take over directorial duties for the bearded one....

Here’s (again, briefly) what happens at the end of the brand-new Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and why it seemingly ends on a huge cliffhanger. Spoilers ahead for Zack Synder’s Justice League which is streaming now on HBO Max. Snyder Cut Ending, Explained Okay, so although the “Epilogue” of Justice League (that’s Part 7, it’s divided into parts on HBO Max) has three different scenes, the one you’re probably really confused about is the Jared Leto stuff....

MORE: The Best Campers, RVs, and Rooftop Tents For Your Summer Adventures You probably never considered yourself a Winnebago Man, but the 2017 Winnebago Paseo may have your rethinking that. The 22-foot Cadillac of campers is a hybrid between a van, an RV, and your den. The biggest benefit is that it’s more spacious and tricked out than your average Windstar, but way sleeker than the typical motor home. The Winnebago Paseo is built on a Ford Transit Van chassis with an EcoBoost engine, which translates to more power and better fuel efficiency (at 15 to 17 miles per gallon) than the other vehicular yachts you see rambling down the highway....

According to a new Institute for Family Studies/Wheatley Institution survey by YouGov, the pandemic and the need to shift to remote work has impacted the workforce in major ways. The survey, conducted between May 28 and June 10, 2021, where 2500 American adults ages 18-55 answered questions on the preference of working from home versus the office and how the pandemic may have changed things. “More than half of parents with children under age 18 said that COVID-19 has made them more likely to prefer working from home either most of the time (33 percent) or half of the time (20 percent),” the report states....

But what happened in those final moments? And is screen time the real villain here or something else? Spoilers ahead for Black Mirror season 5, episode 2, “Smithereens.” In 2016, distracted driving was blamed for 3,450 deaths in the United States. And from, 2010 to 2014 the number of children who died in car accidents was 2, 884. The bottom line is a lot of people drive around while looking at their phones, which includes, statistically, probably half of all parents everywhere....

Bluey heads may be aware of an episode called “Tickle Crabs,” in which Bluey and Bingo pretend to be crabs who mercilessly tickle their parents. But, Brumm revealed to NPR that the original version of this was much worse. Here’s what Brumm said about how “Tickle Crabs” was originally called “Pinchy.” So there you have it, parents. If you find yourself annoyed by any hyper aspects of Bluey (as some parents very much are) just know, it could be way worse....

And while it’s true that $14.2 million is utter scraps compared to what Thanksgiving weekend champs traditionally make – Frozen 2 amassed $100 million-plus over last year’s four-day weekend, for example — Thanksgiving weekend 2020 was far from traditional. Remember, the pandemic was as bad or worse than ever throughout much of the United States, with local governments and the CDC pretty much begging people to hunker down at home....

It’s a fair question. After all, Pokémon is a cultural phenomenon that has been around for over two decades and has already released dozens of movies over the years. Does Detective Pikachu follow this trend or buck the trend by telling a story that serves as a standalone experience? We have the answer. WARNING: This post contains massive spoilers about the ending of Detective Pikachu so if you haven’t seen it, stop reading....

1. Why is Nagini in this story? When Neville cut the head off of Voldemort’s beloved snake and last horcrux in Deathly Hallows, fans thought they’d seen the last of Nagini. People were shocked to see Nagini (Claudia Kim)—as a human, no less—in the Crimes of Grindelwald trailer. The problem is though, we got virtually no further information about Nagini. The trailer pretty much told us everything minus a few details....

I’ve been a father for 17 months and I saw Incredibles 2 right after my daughter had her first birthday. I related strongly to Mr. Incredible’s super-dad persona. So I’m on the phone and imagining in my mind that I’m talking to a cartoon character. I’m not. This becomes clear when we start talking fatherhood. “Every man has to discover for himself what it’s like to be a father,” Nelson says In his voice I hear something I recognize; he ’s tired....

If you care about spoilers, now would be a good time to leave. It’s impossible to meaningfully talk about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood without talking about the ending (same nevermind as Inglorious Basterds). Initially, the film does for 1969 what the latest season of Stranger Things did for 1985, but then the White Album skips. It becomes clear that Tarantino isn’t just nostalgic, he’s sad. The question he poses is this: “What if the sixties ended well?...
