One of the clearest signs of learning is rethinking your assumptions and revising your opinions. 21 things I rethought in 2021: a thread...

Want to light up your baby’s brain? Think “serve and return.” 🎾 Much like a tennis match, serve and return entails back and forth interaction during which adult and child trade conversational (and other expressive) turns. This mother/son duo provides a fantastic example.

You can think of early childhood like an apprenticeship. Your little one’s goal: To be just like you. To learn your ways. To walk like you and talk like you. Here’s a fantastic example. Yesterday I wrote about “serve and return” interactions. Here’s a unique one in which

This deserves a thumbs up! 👍 But give me a moment, my fine motor skills are still developing. As your little one grows, their physical (or “motor”) development happens on two interrelated planes: “Gross motor” development relates to the use of large muscle groups in the

One-Pager on Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman:

The core skills of learning are a critical eye and an open mind. Critical thinking is refusing to accept ideas at face value. Don't believe information until it's verified. Openness is refusing to reject ideas at face value. Don't disbelieve information until it's falsified.

Reading to kids doesn't just benefit them. It's good for parents too. Evidence: Reading regularly to children improves parenting skills, reduces stress, and builds lasting bonds. In a distracted world, sitting together with a book is a rare occasion for undivided attention.

Negativity affects your life more than you think: Your mindset is a powerful tool - use it in your favor. Btw, I have a gift for you in my bio link :)

When you’ve made a mistake, refusing to apologize is not a sign of strength. It’s a mark of narcissism. Malcolm Gladwell and I discuss:

You don’t have to stay in your lane. You do need to check your blind spots before changing lanes. What gets people in trouble isn't tackling unfamiliar topics. It's being ignorant of their own ignorance. A mark of wisdom is entering new terrain with an extra dose of humility.

Don't mistake solitude for loneliness. Deciding to be alone is different from being isolated. New evidence: When people think it's harmful to be by themselves, time alone is more likely to make them lonely. Isolation is unpleasant seclusion. Solitude is often a peaceful choice.

Psychological safety is not about withholding criticism. It’s about enabling people to speak up without fear. The goal is not to lower our standards. It’s to replace knee-jerk reactions with open-minded consideration. All ideas are welcome. Not all views are equally valid.

People who can’t handle criticism are unfit to lead. Weak leaders silence their critics to shield their egos. They fear dissent as a threat to their power. Strong leaders silence their egos to learn from their critics. They welcome dissent as an opportunity for growth.

If you don't let up on yourself and instead become comfortable always operating with some level of pain, you will evolve at a faster pace. That's just the way it is. Every time you confront something painful, you are at a potentially important juncture in your life--you have the
