There were 215 unmarked graves discovered on the property of a Mississippi county jail because of this woman’s search for her missing son: https://t.co/YsUb3PeveK
I just rewound a show because I missed what was said and the tv put subtitles on for the portion that I had to rewind.
Get whoever came up with that a raise! Good job.
Ever get that shrug and "Fine" when you ask your kid "How was school today?" You're not alone—it's basically the universal parent struggle.
But psychologist Amy Morin (author of "13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do") shares 7 way better questions that actually get kids talking. More importantly, they quietly build habits like gratitude, empathy, resilience, and curiosity—without turning it into a lecture.
Here are a few standouts:
• "What was the best part of your day?" – Trains their brain to spot positives and boosts optimism.
• "What mistake did you learn from today?" – Normalizes failure and turns it into a growth lesson.
• "Who were you proud of today?" – Shifts focus to seeing good in others, growing empathy.
• "Who did you help today?" – Makes kindness feel natural and rewarding.
• "What was the most interesting thing you learned?" – Fuels genuine curiosity beyond grades.
• "What's one thing you could have made better today?" – Encourages self-reflection and problem-solving.
• "What's something new you want to try?" – Sparks courage and creativity.
The magic? These aren't interrogations—they're invitations into your child's world. Over time, kids open up more, think deeper, and feel truly seen.
I've seen parents try these and say the dinner table chats get richer, the eye rolls fewer. Small shift, big connection.
Which one's hitting home for you? Drop it in the replies—I'd love to hear how it goes when you try it.

it’s crazy the things we don’t even realize we don’t have because of racism, i never even thought about the fact i never saw a black fetus illustrated & now that i’m seeing it, my mind is really blown that i never saw one before now
