Sarah Wilson, a Portland, Oregon-based family and child counselor, explains that a child’s intentions are very rarely steeped in pure unadulterated evil. Often, she notes, lies are rooted in a desire to please. It’s a parent’s job to help a kid understand that honesty would please them more. “A lot of times we set up scenarios that really encourage our kids to lie to us. We ask questions in a way that puts kids in a place of self-incrimination where they can’t plead the fifth,” says Wilson....

Why It Works Jared Leto is known for his rock-inspired fashion and style choices (aided by the fact that with Thirty Seconds to Mars, he is an actual rock star). So wild locks and big beards are part of who he is.He always keeps it well-groomed maintained (his beard is nicely trimmed and well hydrated).He shaves it, from time to time. The big bushy beard is a great look for Leto because it’s a nice surprise....

Okay. So maybe it’s not hilarious to you, but it will be hilarious to your toddler. That’s likely due to one of a couple reasons: Your toddler simply likes it when someone says moo really loud. Or, your toddler is totally down with interrupting you whenever they damn well feel like it, so they identify with that jerk of a cow. Yeah. It’s probably that second reason. But guess what?...

First, here’s something to remember: Thanks to thousands of years of evolution, stress can spread like wildfire. When we see people under stress, our brains unconsciously respond as if danger is near and a number of physiological alarms are set off. Our hearts beat faster, we go flush and our limbic system prepares our bodies to respond by triggering the body’s fight-or-flight response. “We’re social beings and if we see someone else in a stress response, we take that on and perceive possible danger,” says Nathalie Maggio, a therapist at Coastal Therapy and Wellness in California....

The Form and the Shape If you really want to keep a fire going, it’s time to ditch the tried and true “teepee style” of log arranging, for which you lump tinder at the bottom and then stack bigger pieces above in a style that vaguely resembles a pyramid. Besides the fact that “teepee” is a slightly problematic name, the method also isn’t as effective as most people think. It turns out the real secret to a strong and effective fire is turning everything upside down....

Somewhat confusingly for a moon named after the harvest, the Corn Moon is not the Harvest Moon this year. That honor goes to the full moon occurring on October 1 because it’s closest to the autumnal equinox on September 22. The Corn Moon will peak at 1:22 a.m. ET tonight in the eastern sky. But if that’s a bit past your bedtime or the weather doesn’t cooperate, you can also check it out the two following nights....

National Treasure National Treasure may not give a completely accurate account of colonial history — despite what Nic Cage wants you to believe, there isn’t a treasure map on the back of the Declaration of Independence – but it’s definitely among the most fun. National Treasure adds a bit of light-hearted mythology to the Founding Fathers while also having great action, thrilling twists, and possibly the last great (or at least not aggressively terrible) Cage performance we’ll ever see....

“When parents come into my office and tell me their baby has a heat rash, that basically means it can be anything,” says Karan Lal, Dermatologist at UMass Memorial Medical Center and member of the Society for Pediatric Dermatology. He notes that what parents think are heat rashes usually amounts to persistent skin irritation that can’t be solved through at-home remedies. But typically those rashes aren’t true heat rash, known medically as miliaria....

When you’re engaged in a contentious debate with a stubborn friend or family member, it can feel like you’re caught in feedback loop that results in nothing but anger and frustration. Nothing can truly solve this. But there is a psychological tactic that can not only arm you with the tools to better understand the mechanisms behind someone’s opinion —and, maybe, just maybe, lessen the hardness of their stance — but also control your own emotions and keep yourself from falling into the same traps....

So, to begin, the timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies and their relation to each other is a bit imperfect. Basically, when everything started in 2008 (with Iron Man) they weren’t fully coordinated with each other–and producers have acknowledged that there’s not perfect coherence within the stories themselves. And the Marvel powers-that-be have also changed their mind occasionally about what’s canon and what’s not: for example, Agent Carter and Agents of S....

If you grew up with a new episode of Jeopardy! gracing your TV set organically every night (either before or after Wheel of Fortune, depending on where you lived), the idea of sitting down to pick a specific episode to watch might seem more daunting than figuring out how much to wager on that Daily Double. However, there’s actually only a limited selection of Jeopardy! in Netflix’s streaming library, so picking out an episode or series of episodes to watch is actually pretty easy....

When Is Shatner’s Blue Origin Launch Happening? The flight with Jeff Bezos’ rocket company was originally scheduled for today but was delayed until tomorrow due to weather concerns. So now, if all goes according to plan, the launch from the spaceport in Van Horn, Texas, will now take place at 9:00 AM PST/ 10:00 AM EST on Wednesday. Where Can I Watch It? Blue Origin will broadcast the launch of New Shepard Mission NS-18 on its Youtube channel starting 90 minutes before liftoff....

But what does it mean? Well, put simply, Hugh Jackman will play some version of Wolverine/Logan in a Deadpool movie, which, will seemingly, finally reconcile the continuity of the X-Men with the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the hilarious deadpan video, Ryan Reynolds claims that he’s had no good ideas for Deadpool 3, other than asking Hugh Jackman to come back as Wolverine. We briefly see Jackman walk behind Reynolds on the stairs and when asked if he’ll do it, he says, “Yeah sure, Ryan....

As reported by Time Out, “the Faroese government has installed a gravestone” to draw attention to the fact that the Faroe Islands are where the climax for No Time To Die was filmed. In other words, these islands are the place in real life where Daniel Craig’s James Bond died, specifically the island of Kalsoy. The Faroe Islands are a “constituent country” of Denmark and are located in the North Atlantic, northwest of Scotland, and at a midpoint between Norway and Iceland....

Jimmy Fallon filmed an episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon at home. He’s done two episodes so far, and it’s so relatable as a parent it’s funny. Fallon is sitting at a chair in what looks like his home office, no suit, no fancy set, just him at home. Oh, and his two kids are there, too. Just like many of us are trying to get through our workday with our kids in tow, he is also....

So behold the newest iteration of the June. It’s worth every penny. First and foremost, it’s got what the brand calls Precision Heat Control, meaning that all of its six heating elements cook your food from every angle. In layman’s terms, this means every piece of chicken is equally juicy, and every piece of broccoli is perfectly charred. Because of its double airflow, it cooks your food in a fraction of the time, compared to a regular oven....

But babies — and dads — could benefit from fathers providing kangaroo care, says pediatrician Wendy L. Timpson, M.D., who has done extensive research on neonatal care, and who encourages dads to try skin-to-skin contact with their newborn. Because it doesn’t just have to be mom. “It’s kind of an extrapolation, but there’s no physiologic reason why the baby wouldn’t receive all of the same benefits from essentially any other human doing this,” Timpson says....

“In my experience, more often than not, the discomfort around children’s curiosity lies with the adults,” explains Jennifer Theriault, a Connecticut psychotherapist with a specialty in families with differently-abled children and the mother of a child with cerebral palsy. “Adults are often concerned that their children will be rude or offensive, so they silence them or usher them away which really only increases their sense of discomfort. Children are inherently curious and I don’t think our goal should be to pretend that people aren’t different....
