If you want to predict kids' screen time, look to their parents. Children spend less time on devices when their parents use them less often—and ban them at meals & bedtime. Kids internalize the values they observe. A key to being a good role model is setting healthy boundaries.

We don't need to debate whether it's better to be a generalist or a specialist. The world needs both. Specialists excel at zooming in. They see the details to deepen our knowledge. Generalists excel at zooming out. They see around corners to broaden our view.

Grief is not a purely negative emotion. Over time, it becomes bittersweet—sadness is joined by love and gratitude. Nostalgia is a healthy response to loss. Longing for the past motivates us to appreciate the present and improve the future. The goal of coping is not to erase

Giles Fraser Kevin Yuill It interests me that people who are against the death penalty on the grounds that ‘one mistaken conviction is a mistake too many’ don’t apply the same logic to assisted dying / suicide.

True failure is not falling short of our goals. It's failing to pursue our most meaningful goals. In the moment, it feels risky to take a chance. In hindsight, our biggest mistakes are the chances we didn't take. Inaction is a recipe for regret. Action is fuel for growth.

Today Wes Streeting has shared publicly his concerns about yesterday's AD vote. I agree with every word. Each £ of money used to fund dying will be a £ removed from NHS & palliative care - which is already in desperately short supply for terminally ill patients. This is the care
