One cigarette won’t kill you, observes pediatric neuroendocrinologist and sugar’s arch-nemesis Dr. Robert Lustig, but 10,000 cigarettes over 10 years just might. Processed food is also poisoning us, it’s just doing it much more slowly, contends Lustig, whose latest book boasts a characteristically provocative title: ‘Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine.’
Kids can definitely push the boundaries by misbehaving and just ignoring their parent as they are being told off. For some miraculous reason, their attention is impossible to get until parents eventually lose it and bring in the top gun yelling. But this parenting coach is saying that there is no need to yell and that there is another way to get them to comply.
Tia Slightman, who goes under the name of @parentingcoach on TikTok, shared a video that exploded with views, comments, and likes. And not only does she explain why kids tend not to listen, she explains how can you change that and save your precious nerves.

But until we get to true our democracy with majority rule, proportionate representation and free elections, 80 percent of the country’s political, economic and cultural resources will continue to be enjoyed by only 20 percent of the population.
