Books I regularly recommend to parents:
📕Absorbent Mind (Montessori) - she has the deepest reverse for the human condition focused on children.
📗 Positive Discipline series - great for instilling emotional intelligence and agency in young children.
📘 How to Talk so Children Listen and Listen so Children Talk (Faber) - fabulous practical communication tips.
📙 How Children Learn (Holt) - love his observations about helping young children to teach themselves.
📚 Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons (Engelmann) - the bible of teaching reading.
📖 Magical Child (Pearce) - raising genius kids through play. He gets woo-woo at the end (but given that people love the telepathy tapes, maybe he's onto something).
Indonesia was once seen as a darling of investors. But fears of corruption and policy missteps are raising concerns about the country’s economic future

I am once again reminding you that getting artificial dopamine hits inside non-stop all day is frying your chimp brain more than you dare to imagine.
They can literally cook your entire life.
Heck, in general, if you are depressed, unmotivated, lazy, and even don’t enjoy life much immediately cut out all artificial dopamine hits and go outside.
You might laugh at this initially but give it 3 weeks and you will never look at social media the same.
It’s basic science.
D2 receptors, for example, are susceptible to downregulation from overstimulation, artificial blue light is shown to lead to a 30% reduction of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the substantia nigra in many animal models etc.
So you can not live an overstimulating life indoors and wonder why you don’t derive pleasure from anything natural or why you're not driven to create something.
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.
They turned all the CCTV off at central Jakarta following students protest today. Please protect yourself, each other, & your personal phone as well, guys.
Tapi asli gue beneran kecanduan kopi item (tanpa gula & tanpa susu). Kalo belom minum kopi rasanya ada yang kurang & jadi nggak fokus sepanjang hari…… what do I do 🥲🥲 penggantinya apa ya..
ini lah kenapa di umur 20an banyak banget yang mulai hobi baru. jadi rajin nyobain banyak cabor, ikut marathon, daftar kelas yoga/pilates, nyobain free diving, ikut community, kelas masak, pottery dll. karena kalo waktu dihabisin buat kerja doang, our soul will become soulless.
alias there's no spark left in our lives. semakin tua juga semakin banyak 'curiousity' buat nyoba new different things. maybe karena we feel like we're running out of time kali ya if we don't live our life to the fullest.
