American children have had a tough few years, but parents can help kids grow through the crisis, writes Anya Kamenetz in The New York Times. “By around age 8, most children are developing the cognitive maturity required to see that negative experiences may have benefits,” writes Kamenetz. That doesn’t mean parents should “push” kids to […]
In celebration of aviation trailblazer Bessie Coleman, a recent American Airlines flight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Phoenix was staffed entirely by Black women, from the pilots to the cargo team. In the aviation industry, less than 1 percent of pilots are Black women, and that‘s why Captain Beth Powell said she was “beyond thrilled to […]

How often do we not hear from people that when they had certain questions about faith matters, that the priest or minister told them they should not ask such questions but should put their faith in God. What those ministers or priests would mean by that? Does the church discourage you from asking questions? is […]
Today I had a look at the cathedral of the Reigning King Christ at La Spezia, in Liguria, Italy. An awful huge round building only build in 2015, but already showing signs of being in ‘decay’, materially but probably also spiritually, not receiving many congregants anymore. It is something we can see all over Europe, […]

Under the pressure to raise successful kids, it’s easy for parents to blame themselves for all of their children’s struggles, writes Amy Paturel in The Washington Post.Ā “Mom guilt” is rooted in the desire for parents to feel control over their child’s livelihood. “With this sort of ‘magical thinking,’ if you’re the cause, then you can […]

Queen Elizabeth II’s attitude was not always well understood, especially when it came to the domestic problems between her children, with Princess Diana in particular, but here and there she managed to bring the glue to mend the fractures by her children as well as by politicians and nations.

Dear Marcus,
Thank you for reblogging the post. We live in interesting times indeed, but often for the wrong reasons. What a day it was to unfold with sedition and insurrection!
Instead of “Flattening the Curve”, the USA is now “Steepening the Curve”, so much so that the MAGA tagline āMake America Great Againā should be changed to MASA: āMake America Sick Againā!
Here’s my little poem or ditty:
In a nutshell:
The POTUSā FOCUS is a hocus-pocus.
Regarding the POTUS’ Twitter and Facebook accounts, some would even argue that they should have been suspended or terminated a long time ago for continually unleashing falsehood, misinformation and mass distrust. Fortunately, he has not (yet) been given free access to software or button(s) with which to launch weapon(s) of mass destruction.
In any case, those who are fair-minded and discerning are not easily swayed by his constant thrashing around and beating in the bush. Speaking of whether “the president really is a very stable genius”, SoundEagle’s adage is that Trump is a fool’s idea of a genius. In addition, the POTUS has long slid from being a “Law and Order” President to a “Flaw and Border” President.
Speaking of critical thinking and many other complex behavioural, sociocultural and political issues, I have recently published a very detailed post entitled “Misquotation Pandemic and Disinformation Polemic: Mind Pollution by Viral Falsity” at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2020/12/19/misquotation-pandemic-and-disinformation-polemic-mind-pollution-by-viral-falsity/
I would be delighted if you could kindly submit your comment to my said article, as I am very keen and curious to know what you think or make of it regarding the increasingly pressing issues that many of us are facing.
By the way, I would like to wish you a very happy New Year. May you find 2021 very much to your liking and highly conducive to your writing, reading, thinking and blogging!

Thank you very much for your New Year’s wishes and for taking the time to offer an extra comment as well for directing to another interesting article of yours.
We may be reassured D. Trump has “not (yet) been given free access to software or button(s) with which to launch weapon(s) of mass destruction” and hopefully now the time has come that also some Republicans shall make work of assuring the population that this dangerous man shall not be able in the future to “lead America” again.
I hope to accept your invitation one of these days. (I must first deliver a series on prophecy for publication to the Bible Students and Researchers.)
