7 everyday parenting habits that improve your child's mental well-being
7 parenting habits that secretly boost your child's mental health every day (Image: iStock) Even though parenting is a unique ritual, which is specific to each family with influences from personal to social to familial learnings, few learnings remain common and can be mimicked by the vast majority of parents to ensure inculcation of healthy habits in their children. According to a 2024 study, Routines and child development: A systematic review (Selman, Journal of Family Theory & Review ), consistent home routines like mealtimes and bedtime rituals are linked to fewer internalising problems (e.g., anxiety, depression), reduced externalising behaviours and even lower ADHD symptoms. Longitudinal evidence shows 'bedtime routines at age 3 predict decreased anxious, depressed, withdrawn and aggressive behaviors at age 5.' A study in Infant Behavior & Development tracked over 2,900 children and found that "children with consistent early bedtime routines were better able to regulate their emotions at age three" and that this improved emotional regulation mediated positive behavioural outcomes in fifth grade. A 1997 study by Gottman, Katz and Hooven, Parental meta-emotion philosophy, found that parents who understand and guide children's emotions ('emotion coaching') help them develop self-regulation, attention, emotional bonds and adaptability. As Gottman asserted, 'There is evidence that parents' interaction with the child has implications for the child's ability to self-regulate, focus attention, share intersubjective meaning and be able to interact with a changing environment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo ' In an interview with TOI, Dr Kushal Agrawal, HOD - Department of Neonatology and Paediatrics at KVR Hospital in Kashipur, suggested seven tips to meaningfully support your child's mental health and emotional growth - Encourage open emotional communication Daily parenting habits that are scientifically proven to boost kids' well-being (Image: iStock) Openly sharing emotions is one of the most effective methods to develop resilience. When children can recognise and name their emotions, they are better able to manage them. Tip: Create a safe, judgment-free space at home where your child can talk about both positive and challenging feelings. Just make sure that you impress upon the child that it is OKAY to share everything. Teach problem-solving skills According to research, children who learn problem-solving skills at a young age we can boost their feeling of autonomy and resilience. Tip: When your youngster encounters a problem, avoid rushing in to solve it. Motivate your kid to at least attempt to solve it on their own. Demonstrating resilience in everyday life Children generally learn through observation, particularly from their parents. Keeping a calm and positive attitude when facing your own struggles can have a significant impact on your child's capacity to cope with stress. Tip: Though it is okay for your kid to share their feelings, you don't need to share your frustrations and insecurities in details as they have to learn resilience from you. Practice mindfulness together Mindfulness has been demonstrated to alleviate anxiety and improve emotional regulation in youngsters. Mindfulness enables children to focus on the present moment, which allows them to better manage overwhelming emotions and feelings. Tip: Try easy mindfulness exercises as a family. Share everyday moments of thankfulness or practice deep breathing together.

Victoria's Secret Just Made A Major Announcement About Its Runway Show
Victoria's Secret is not quite finished with its reboot. This morning, the brand announced that its famed fashion show will return to the runway later this year, and under new leadership, too. In April, Adam Selman, the former executive design director of Rihanna's lingerie label Savage X Fenty, was appointed to the brand as its new senior vice president and executive creative director. For Selman, the appointment is a bit of a full-circle moment. He originally began his career at Victoria's Secret under Zaldy Goco, AKA the creator of the legendary Angel wings. Since then, Selman has flitted across the industry, opening an eponymous ready-to-wear brand and designing custom red-carpet pieces, including Rihanna's iconic Swarovski crystal-encrusted see-through dress that she wore to the CFDA Fashion Awards in 2014. More recently, while at Savage X Fenty, he helped launch the brand's expansion into size-inclusive loungewear, ranging from XXS to 4X. The Victoria's Secret Selman is returning to is vastly different than the one at which he started, though the brand has made strides to rebuild some of that former essence. This past October, VS staged a comeback runway show. The event was obviously filled with A-list faces: Gigi Hadid opened; Adriana Lima, Tyra Banks, and Alessandra Ambrosio returned; and Cher, Lisa, and Tyla performed, though some signature moments from the past, like the Fantasy Bra and 2000s-era blowouts, were missing. While the exact date of the runway show has yet to be released, Selman has the unique opportunity to now lead the brand in another new direction. He can pluck from the best of both worlds—ideally creating a space where valuable inclusion meets well-designed, comfortable intimates for consumers old and new all while drawing directly from certified experience at a fellow boundary-pushing lingerie brand. Between his reputable designs and the company's ambitious vision, the reboot has the opportunity to land on solid ground.

Marge Simpson very much alive and not going anywhere, death rumors busted by ‘The Simpsons' creator
Marge Simpson is not dead, as confirmed by 'The Simpsons' executive producer Matt Selman, following recent online outrage sparked by the Season 36 finale of the show. Despite growing concerns and fan reactions suggesting that Marge's character had died, Selman clarified that the episode, which aired on May 18, was not meant to be taken as canon. The episode, titled "Estranger Things," shows a future where Marge has passed away, causing a rift between her children, Bart and Lisa. However, Selman emphasized that 'The Simpsons' has no official canon, and as such, episodes involving future scenarios are merely speculative fantasies. In an interview with Variety, Selman stated, 'There is no canon!' adding that the series' numerous flashbacks and flash-forwards have made it clear that events like this are part of the show's creative storytelling approach, and they are not permanent. The confusion arose after the Season 36 finale, where Marge's death was depicted, followed by her 'affair' with Ringo Starr in heaven. This prompted a wave of social media discussions and media coverage, with many people interpreting it as Marge's death being final. However, Selman confirmed that Marge will remain alive in the show, calling the uproar a result of misleading headlines. 'Websites need traffic, and headlines equal traffic,' he added, noting that all media outlets involved were aware that Marge's death was not permanent. Despite the confusion, Selman also expressed a positive take on the situation, suggesting that the controversy shows that 'The Simpsons' continues to hold significant cultural relevance. Earlier this year, Fox renewed the show for an unprecedented four more seasons, extending it through Season 40, ensuring Marge, voiced by Julie Kavner for nearly 40 years, will remain a central character. In summary, Marge Simpson's character is alive and well, and the fan uproar can be attributed to exaggerated media coverage. Fans can rest assured that Marge will continue to play a pivotal role in the long-running animated series.

Man faces severe penalties for dangerous crime on public roadway: 'We need to send a message'
An Alabama resident was charged with criminal littering after being caught illegally dumping trash in a neighborhood in northeastern Birmingham, per ABC 3340. A resident captured footage of Richard Selman, 69, of Leeds, Alabama, discarding debris on a roadway in South Eastlake and reported the crime to the authorities. Under state law, criminal littering is a class B misdemeanor that carries a fine of $500 for the first offense but also includes further penalties depending on the material dumped. Further offenses carry higher fines and mandated community service. As the Environmental Protection Agency reports, illegal dumping is a widespread problem that poses health and safety hazards for locals and negatively impacts quality of life and property values. It's an inherently anti-social crime that harms the ecosystem and people. Illegally discarded debris can contaminate the soil and local water sources and attract vermin. Litter isn't just an eyesore; it can also devastate local wildlife that ingest toxic substances and spread disease. The city of Birmingham has taken steps to address the issue with its D.U.M.M.Y (Dumping Ugly Mess in My Yard) campaign. The initiative seeks to change anti-social behavior and empower residents to help keep Birmingham free of illegally discarded waste. The project also offers information for residents seeking to discard waste responsibly. It emphasizes the importance of collective action, stating: "It will take everyone pitching in to help keep our city clean and prosecute those who don't." In this case, it was thanks to a civic-minded resident that Selman was ultimately brought to justice. The story shows that properly enforced legislation and taking local action can go a long way to protecting the environment. Birmingham police chief Michael Pickett told WBRC News his department takes such offenses seriously. "We need to send a message that illegal dumping will not be tolerated in the city limits of Birmingham," he said. "We are not a dumping ground for anyone. Whether they are a resident in our city or someone coming in simply to dump in our city." Do you think your city has good air quality?

The rise of the 'sparden': Londoners choose mini spa retreats over greenery in city gardens
While most Londoners don't have that sort of money, Selman believes the spa garden trend reflects the way millennials, in particular, are making health and wellness a priority. Garden designer Jo Thompson has also noticed a rise in the number of clients asking for spa-type features to be integrated into landscaping. 'More and more, we're being asked to include wellness areas, specifically saunas and plunge pools,' she says, although the challenge is making sure they feel part of the garden rather than just 'dropped in'. In one Hampstead project, Thompson created 'a heavily planted winding path up to a secret little oasis with sauna and pool that from the outside looked like another garden area,' she says.
