My new favorite word: sonder.

Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.

Reading to kids doesn't just benefit them. It's good for parents too.
Evidence: Reading regularly to children improves parenting skills, reduces stress, and builds lasting bonds.
In a distracted world, sitting together with a book is a rare occasion for undivided attention.

Emotion regulation is not about controlling what you feel. It's about choosing how you respond.
Wise people don't suppress emotion. They find constructive ways to express it.
Intense feelings don't always demand immediate reactions. They often benefit from deep reflection.
