On His Celebrity Social Life “My kids give me the most joy, but there are life adjustments. I don’t go out to meet anyone after 9:30 at night. I eat dinner at 6 or 7. If someone makes me stay out until 10:30 at night, I’m angry the entire next day because I’m exhausted.” On How Money Changes Everything “I try to do the right thing, but with the amount of money I have, it’s difficult to raise the children the way I was raised....
He’s the mascot and star of a series of apps, the latest of which teaches your kids to play with numbers through open-ended experimentation with digital blocks and objects rather than a bunch of math problems.

After noting that the one-year survival rate for stage four pancreatic cancer is 18 percent, Trebek reported that he’s happy to be part of that number. Then, he talked about his experience fighting the disease over the last year. “I’d be lying if I said the journey had been an easy one. There were some good days but a lot of not-so-good days. I joked with friends that the cancer won’t kill me; the chemo treatments will,” he said, standing on the set of the show he’s hosted since 1984....
Wake up at the Same Time Every Day Getting up at the same time every day might matter just as much as getting up early. One study that followed 61 Harvard students for a month found that individuals with the most consistent wake-up times performed better than those who opted to mix it up, despite getting the same amount of sleep overall. When authors Benjamin Spall and Michael Xander interviewed 300 successful people about their morning routines, they found that the average wake up time was a very specific 6:27 a....
But your kid’s love for Alexa may reach unprecedented heights when they discover the perfect command to give her: “Ask for a fart.” If the video below is any indication, your flatulence-loving tot will find Alexa’s response significantly funnier than even your best dad joke.

Some parents indulge in the fantastical legends we tell our kids more than others. The parents that put out cookies and milk on Christmas Eve, making sure to creep out in the middle of the night to eat at least a few to make it seem like Saint Nicholas himself got his fair share; and the parents who covertly slide a crisp bill under their kid’s pillow the night they lose a tooth, sacrificing all credit to the imagined Tooth Fairy....
But that’s not to say the threat of coal can’t nip one or two tantrums in the bud. “Believing in Santa can work for a young child’s behavior in the short-term in specific circumstances,” DePompo says. The study of Santa remains woefully inadequate. Last year, Harvard researchers took a humorous stab at determining whether Santa delivers presents to good children more than bad children, and published their surprisingly rigorous findings in the holiday edition of BMJ....

Men and Women Agree That Sexual Harassment Is a Problem There’s some good news in the data.

“You should never give up on important big issues, but you should frequently give up on small things that don’t matter,” explains Dr. Nancy Darling, Oberlin College Psychology Professor and author of Thinking About Kids on Psychology Today. She adds that “there are plenty of times you should walk away from a discussion so you can come back to it knowing you’re going to resolve it.” When to Walk Away from an Argument with a Child Walk away from little issues that are matters of opinion and personal preference....
The company tested 45 fruit juices from some of the most popular brands (including Capri Sun, Juicy Juice, Mott’s, and Welch’s) for cadmium, lead, mercury, and inorganic arsenic. The sampling, which was pulled from different parts of the country, analyzed four flavors: apple, pear, grape, and blends. While every juice sampled had “measurable” levels of the metals, 21 of them contained “elevated” levels. However, CR notes that only seven of those are actually harmful to a child who drinks at least four ounces of the juice a day (five posed a risk to adults who drink the same amount)....
Users can of course collapse the message on the website and continue to look at baby names, but the pop-up is a stunning reminder of how many folks have been killed or died way too young, often before their parents, with little to no accountability from the police. However, the website has been so inundated with visitors that it’s actually crashed — suggesting that the symbolic gesture has gotten the notice of many people online....

In addition to the radically different instrumentation, Kossan swaps out the reading of the bedtime prayer “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep” during the bridge with a recording of Shigu Seigan Mon, the four great vows of Boddhisatva that are sung every morning in Mahayana Buddhist temples. Much like the eery rendition of the 18th-century prayer they replaced, the four vows sound pleasant and positive on their own but downright sinister over that famous guitar riff and next to downright dark lyrics....
