This is authoritative parenting—-or rather, step-parenting—-as opposed to authoritarian. The bond will be even better and stronger because the stepson did this all on his own, OP never demanded it. It’s always better to allow people to exercise their own free will, instead of trying to force them to do something. If what you’re offering sounds good to them, they’ll come around on their own. You don’t have to demand, coerce, force anything. TBH, you shouldn’t do that anyway, as it really doesn’t yield good and/or lasting results.

Kid Beats Cancer
With so much online outrage, controversy, and doom-scrolling going on, the process of discovering really wholesome content is a profoundly satisfying experience. Perhaps it's dog reunions with their human families, neighborhood communities coming together for the good of a neighbor, or just a video of someone finally achieving a long-held ambition. Wholesome content is a kind of digital comfort food for our overstimulated minds. But why are we attracted to such cheerful moments, especially if programmatic platforms seem to exist only to get us angry and wired?
The answer starts with basic brain chemistry. Social media's addictiveness activates the reward system of the brain by releasing dopamine. That's a "feel-good chemical" linked with positive activities. Most social media content triggers dopamine through anger, controversy, or FOMO, but healthy content offers a more positive pathway to the same neurochemical reward. Instead of getting our dopamine hit from anger or fear, we're getting it through joy, hope, and togetherness.

Our local book shop opens on Christmas Day morning. The owner once decided, since he's awake anyway and will go and visit his parents only in the afternoon, he might as well open the shop for people who have no family or just enjoy going out. Turned out, there's also a lot of people who like to go window shopping, so his kindness became rewarded as well. A lot of us go now because it's become a nice tradition.

My parents always made Christmas about our nuclear family, meaning just my parents and us kids. But they always made an exception for the one or two members of our small church who had no family to spend the day with and would invite them for Christmas dinner. I insisted on doing the same when I had kids. A few years ago, I invited a German friend of mine for dinner whose entire family still lives in Germany (we're in the US). My kids now call him Uncle Harry. He's now part of all our family celebrations and comes for dinner at least once a week. It's become a family joke that he came for dinner and just never left 😊

I LOVE hearing about teachers encouraging people. I myself never got an ounce of encouragement. I was extremely curious and did very well academically (I'm an idiot in most other ways). Never got encouraged at any point in school or college, other than a math teacher in college who said she wanted to recommend me for a math award. But then she started asking questions and asked about extracurricular activities. Apparently, whoever made the decision cared about your hobbies or volunteer work or whatever. I told her I was a single Mom and had none (other than taking care of my kid of course). So, I thanked her and left and that was that.
Research shows that the type of content we consume has a direct impact on our emotional state and behavior. This applies much more widely than advertising, if we watch or read something that makes us feel better, it actually makes us feel better and look at the world in a more positive way, creating a self-reinforcing feedback loop that causes us to want to see more of the same.

The popularity of clean content also reflects an innate need for emotional balance, especially in our current media landscape. But we can all benefit from more happiness in our life, especially now as the more insidious burn-out effects of the last few years really start to set in in creative ways in all our lives. If this form of popular content is giving us good faith and optimism because it just feels so clean and genuine, then it's serving as a counter to all the sheer negativity that fills most of our media consumption.

But recent research underscores their ability to disseminate goodness on a broad level.

A two year old was totally overwhelmed in a shop, and was sobbing, then she threw herself to the floor. Her mother was making soothing noises, and trying to help. I started moving over to help the mother. Turns out two other women were doing the same thing at the same time. :o) We helped the mother, and asked her to please let the little one know she was safe, could let out the big emotions. Then we turned to the mother, and reassured her she was doing a great job.

My 1.5yr Old Son And 14yr Old Cat Had A Moment This Morning

Sam Trudeau 4 months ago
Babies and cats are sort of the same thing. Little tiny family members who have a single sound to indicate what they want, and leave the big people to figure it out.
The contagious nature of family-friendly content reveals something fascinating about human psychology. Overall, research has shown that videos eliciting very strong emotional intensities (positive, such as happiness or awe, or negative, such as anger or fear) are more likely to be forwarded. Individuals tend to want to share material that makes them feel good, and this suggests that our hunger for positivity is not merely individual but socially oriented as well. We want to spread good energy to others, creating a chain of goodness.

The contrast effect is responsible, in large part, for how wholesome content is so appealing. In an environment that is saturated with conflict, crisis, and controversy, truly positive content is a beacon of light. The incessant pounding of negative news produces what psychologists refer to as "emotional exhaustion," and wholesome content reads like an oasis in a desert of outrage and worry.

When I learned that my high-school boys were taking tests in their Junior year that would tell them what career trajectory they should/would be put on, I told them both how absolutely asinine it was to expect a 16-17 year-old to put lifelong stock in anything of that sort. That is when we had the talk about their brains wouldn't even be fully developed and know what IT wants until they were 25 years old, making concrete, life-affecting decisions before then might very well end in disaster, and I could never expect them to drop into any cookie cutter idea of what someone said they should be. They should try many things, including if college or trade school was a fit, give it a try and find out. There's no shame in changing. Now that they are 26 & 27 years old, the proof is in the pudding... Neither remained anywhere close to what their test-determined career was supposed to be and most of all, they are happy with the experiences that got them to the satisfaction they have found.

I also think part of the superiority thing with men and their jobs is what ever your own father instilled into you as what it means to be man. My dad and older brother believed a man should be able to use tools and repair most anything, or at least try. Other kid's father's instilled the idea that making the most money and sitting at a desk was what made you the alpha male. But the real alpha male is the man who is witty and can charm all the ladies! Any man who understands women is the real genius.

Wholesome content also fills our need for actual human connection in the increasingly digital era. A far cry from the performative quality of so much of social media content, wholesome moments feel like the genuine article and unscripted.

From a neurologic perspective, viewing positive material does actually rewire us to be healthier mentally. The way they have social media set up is actually brilliant, because it gets us scrolling, and it gives us instant hits of dopamine. And that feels good. It's like d***s. It's like chocolate. It's like hearing your favorite song. It's that instant rush. While this explains the addictive nature of social media as a whole, wholesome content provides a more healthful form of that same hit of dopamine, one that encourages us rather than sucking us dry.

There Is No Such Thing As A Stupid Question

I used to do this too. Thankfully, there was no bullying and taunts. Instead, the maths professor pulled me to one side and asked me what was going on. I explained. That's when he instituted a new policy. He's send round a note pad, and a box at the start of the tutorials, and ask the students to write down any questions they had, or requests for a a re-cap. He asked that everyone write something, even if it was 'Everything's fine. I understand.' He'd then spend the first half of the tutorial answering the questions. No one had to feel embarrassed.

There is a little bit of nostalgia and safety involved in wholesome content, too. It makes us remember the good old days, childhood innocence, or fundamental human values that feel ageless and reassuring.

Why would parents (and grandparents) ever want to keep their kids uncomfortable, unhappy, and living a lie or having to keep their authentic lives a secret?

I was also born in the 60s. The second offspring came out as non-binary, and a name-change ensued. Everyone bar Grandma got it, and tried to use their new name. Next time we were over, I realised Kai was gently repeating their new name each time Grandma used the old one. At dinner, Grandma used the wrong name, and this time I repeated back the new name. After doing this a few times other people got in on the act. At the end of the evening, Grandma used the wrong name again, ten people looked at Grandma and said in unison, "Kai." Grandma was rather taken aback. On the way home, Kai said how unbelievably reassuring and conforming it was that without any discussion people had gently kept repeating their name. They felt the love that night.

Kenyan Science Teacher Crowned Best Teacher In The World

This is Peter Tabichi, and he's a Franciscan friar. The Rule of Saint Francis calls for members to practice simple living and detachment from material possessions in emulation of Jesus' life and earthly ministry. Before winning the prize, he was giving away 80% of his teacher's salary. You can be sure he did not keep the $1 million, but will have used it to help the poor and struggling people in his community. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47658803

Mother Who Have Nothing, But Always Gives Everything 💕
Tabitha 4 months ago (edited)
I have found that the people who are the first ones to come forward and help people in need are those who are only a fraction better off than those they help. Those with unlimited money and resources rarely step up and use their wealth and power to actually help others who are truly in need. Helping themselves? Oh hell yeah they’re right there in the blink of an eye. Real “Let them eat cake” attitude amongst the one percent, and they’re too stupid to realize how that worked out for other entitled one percenters through history.

One thing I didn't expect was how *cold* your head gets after your hair falls out! At first I was determined to rock the bald look, but it's physically uncomfortable because you feel every breeze and bit of air moving. Finally started wearing scarves tied like a doek (dook, like the Babadook). Wore it African style (had to youTube how to tie it - type in 'how to tie a doek') and got so many compliments!

This is huge! Hair seems so trivial, but it is a part of our identity. That is why I think limits on hairstyles can be so detrimental. Why are we as a society so determined to repress outward expressions of individuality? Hairstyles harm no one.

The vet has just reminded me that Yuki is due for his 6 month health check and flea/worm treatment. Hubs has sold our car. I do not look forward to booking a taxi and having to explain to the driver that although he hasn't got fleas or worms and they don't need to disinfect their cab, Yuki can still wail like a banshee and scream that he is being taken to the t*****e chamber, so I might need the taxi driver to wear ear plugs! Have to book in our new boy, too, a ginger boy found with his mother and two siblings in a barn that was in the process of being demolished. My friend, being a cat person, took the family home, treated the lactating mother for fleas with the correct flea treatment, bathed the kittens once they were weaned, and as he knew our Rossi boy had died, offered us the rescue boy, who is almost, almost, socialised.

Started off as just strangers, ended up becoming friends because of one little interaction, making sure she didn't miss her next bus.

A word to the downvoters and negative commenters: Not every person, child or adult, is just like everyone else. They’re to all jaded, wisecracking smart asses like the kids on TV sitcoms, ffs. Some are more trusting, and will take that chance on, someone who meets the criteria, checks all the boxes, for being a kind and trustworthy person. As to the other kid’s consent, come on. They’re kids. All the crush has to do is say no—-and hopefully do it kindly and still be a friend. In which case, the kids teacher will make the necessary adjustments. Like any guardian angel would do.

These Two Bus Drivers
Kelly H. Wilder 4 months ago
Could I ask what difference the drivers wearing shorts would make? Legs forward underneath the steering column...who is going to care if they are wearing shorts or long pants?
Tabitha 4 months ago
Why? It’s no skin off the asses of the government body that dictates the dress code for their employees to allow them to wear shorts and be comfortable on hot days, ffs. If public servants like cops and bus drivers in warm climates can wear shorts, mostly longer uniform shorts like Bermudas, to stave off heat exhaustion—-which is an entirely reasonable request and accommodation in my book—-I don’t see why an exception can be made for public servants in cooler climates when the temperature goes comparatively sky high for them. They overheat the exact same, so should be allowed the same relief. I would prefer my bus driver to be comfortable wearing shorts than to pass out—-or worse—-at the wheel from heat exhaustion.

Please don’t immediately jump on the mom and accuse her of neglect. She may not be neglectful at all, and maybe she just doesn’t have, or simply doesn’t know about, a lot of resources to rely on to help her. Maybe she doesn’t make enough to afford daycare, or doesn’t have the transportation to get her child to a good, safe daycare center. I’m sure if this is the case, she calls and checks up on him a lot until she gets home, and has shown him how to be safe, and what to do in case of emergency. Life can be a struggle for a lot of people, and all they can do is the best they can.
