A sign of emotional intelligence is the ability to laugh at yourself. 6 studies: After making small mistakes, people are seen as warmer and more capable if they're amused instead of embarrassed. Taking your responsibilities seriously but your ego lightly is a core life skill.

Stated at ACIP: MMRV isn’t acceptable for kids <4 to prevent measles, mumps, rubella & varicella.   ❌ False. MMRV/MMR vaccines are safe & highly effective. Studies show only a very small increase in febrile seizure risk after the 1st dose.
