Parents Who Raise Good Kids Do These 5 Things

Relocating a gym isn’t just about moving treadmills and racks—it’s about protecting your business. Every machine is a big investment, and every day members can’t use it, which means lost revenue. That’s why so many owners search for “fitness equipment movers near me.” It’s not about convenience—it’s about finding experts who can move heavy, delicate, and costly machines with precision.One wrong move can delay reopening or lead to expensive repairs.

The most powerful changes happen when we decide to take control of what we do have power over, instead of craving control over what we do not.Holding on is hard. Holding on contributes to stress, unhappiness, relationship issues, and so much more.

You have come a long way, and you’re still learning and growing. Be thankful for the lessons. Take them and make the best of things today.For my 18th birthday, many moons ago, my grandfather on my mom’s side gave me four lightly-used flannel shirts that he no longer needed.

The following is a personal essay that reflects the opinions and experiences of its author.October 17, 2025This November marks the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), a landmark law that shapes the educational experiences of more than 7.5 million students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) across the United States.In exchange for federal funding, states must provide students with disabilities a free and appropriate public education; the IDEA governs this and how an IEP (Individualized Education Program) is structured, built to address a student’s needs, and implemented in the classroom. Central to the IDEA’s effectiveness is federal monitoring of state compliance; however, that enforcement structure is now under serious threat.Earlier this week, the Trump administration effectively killed the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) — an office within the U.S.

On TikTok, #adhd is the seventh most popular health hashtag, which demonstrates the popularity and ubiquity of health content on social media.1However, Likes and Shares are not an indicator of accuracy, according to a recent study in PLOS ONE. For example, less than half of the information shared in immensely popular ADHD TikTok videos (which have garnered nearly half a billion views) aligns with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).2 Most ADHD TikToks perpetuate lies or half-truths.ADHD inaccuracies don’t just permeate social channels; they also appear in podcasts, newspapers, TV shows, and beyond.

I hope you’ll find something here to help you truly express how you feel at the dinner table, in a text or on a card or maybe via social media posts on Instagram.“Having somewhere to go is home.

The goal is to change your response to what you can’t control — to gradually grow stronger on the inside, so less on the outside affects your inner peace and happiness without your conscious permission.The mind is the biggest battleground. It’s the place where the greatest conflict resides. It’s where we all develop thinking habits that put us in direct opposition with reality — where the things we fear drain us but never actually happen.

Amir Sharifi is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with him. He impressed us with his dedication and purposefulness.

“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.” ~Maya Angelou

"Hurry sickness" isn’t an ADHD-specific term. In fact, the phrase was coined back in 1974 by a cardiologist team writing about the damaging effects of a "Type A" personality on the heart. But the behavior pattern of constant rushing, and the feeling of chronic anxiety and overwhelm in response to expectations of productivity — that's something many adults with ADHD experience.Abundant evidence has demonstrated that ADHD makes nighttime rest difficult to achieve.

Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder often characterized as “extreme picky eating.” Food avoidance or restriction in ARFID can be due to any of the following:1Unlike other eating disorders, like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, the eating behaviors seen in ARFID are not associated with concerns about body weight or shape. Children with ARFID may struggle to meet nutritional and/or energy needs, and they may be dependent on nutritional supplements for functioning.ARFID often co-occurs with autism, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).2 Some symptoms of autism, like rigid eating behaviors and sensory sensitivity, overlap with ARFID.If you suspect that your child has symptoms of ARFID, answer the questions below and share the results with your child’s pediatrician or a licensed mental health professional who is experienced in diagnosing and treating ARFID.If you or a loved one are suffering from an eating disorder, visit the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) at www.nationaleatingdisorders.org for support, resources, and treatment options. This self-test was adapted in part from the Nine Item ARFID Screen (NIAS) and incorporates findings from research on ARFID. It is designed to screen for the possibility of ARFID, and it is for personal use only. This test is not intended as a diagnostic tool. Only a licensed mental health professional can diagnose ARFID.

In everything from teen rom coms to relationship advice columns, kissing is painted as the litmus test for love, desire, and connection. What’s often overlooked is how complicated kissing can be for neurodivergent people, whose brains and bodies process touch, taste, and proximity differently.For many of my clients with ADHD, kissing isn’t always the warm, intimate act it’s “supposed” to be. Instead, it can feel like a sensory storm.There’s too much saliva and not enough breathing.

Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS), also known as delayed sleep phase disorder or delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, is a circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder characterized by an inability to fall asleep and wake up at socially acceptable times. Individuals with DSPS, because of differences in their internal clock, naturally sleep and wake more than two hours later than most people.DSPS is often mistaken for insomnia and poor sleep hygiene.

I hope you’ll find something here that’ll give you a few good laughs, reduce some of that holiday stress and help you to make this a happy fall month.“November always seemed to me the Norway of the year.” – Emily Dickinson“I suppose I will die never knowing what pumpkin pie tastes like when you have room for it.” – Robert Brault“The November evening had a bite; it nibbled not-quite-gently at her cheeks and ears.” – Aleksandr Wootton“November is the most disagreeable month in the whole year.” – Louisa May Alcott“I have come to regard November as the older, harder man’s October.” – Henry Rollins“In November you begin to know how long the winter will be.” – Martha Gellhorn“No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, no fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds – November!” – Thomas Hood“I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion.” – Henry David Thoreau“November at its best – with a sort of delightful menace in the air.” – Anne Bosworth Greene“It was the best kind of November day. Cold and crisp, but not quite freezing, not icy.” – Rainbow Rowell“This November there seems to be nothing to say.” – Anne Sexton“The house was very quiet, and the fog – we are in November now – pressed against the windows like an excluded ghost.” – E.M.

Entrepreneurship is powered by stories—of accomplishment, failure, and decision moments that define businesses. Books are maps, providing insight from individuals who’ve traversed the road ahead. For would-be founders who believe in sharing their experience and expertise, authorsing your own can scale your influence.

It’s not what you say to everyone else that determines your life; it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the greatest power and influence.The best lessons we learn in life are the lessons we learn over and over again. The human mind needs lots of reminders — lots of practice — to operate effectively.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.When you can no longer think of a reason to continue, you must think of a reason to start over. There’s a big difference between giving up and starting over in the right direction. And there are three little words that can release you from your past and guide you forward to a positive new beginning.

Just about every mainstream medical, psychological, and educational organization in the U.S. long ago concluded that ADHD is real, and that children and adults with attention deficit disorder benefit from appropriate ADHD treatment.Yet, somehow, the world still seems to be filled with self-appointed ADHD “experts” — some well-meaning, some sanctimonious — who insist on burdening us with their ill-informed opinions and asking repeatedly, What is ADHD?We’ve all heard the ADHD skeptics’ comments: “ADHD is bunk!” “Can’t people take responsibility for their own actions anymore?” “All that so-called ADHD kids really need is discipline!” “Drug companies invented ADHD so they could sell stimulants.” Blah, blah, blah.We expect to hear such nonsense about ADHD and LD from misinformed movie stars ranting on talk shows.

Leadership has always been as much about people as it is about performance. Ken Blanchard, in his influential book, “The One Minute Manager”, put it simply: different strokes for different folks.Every individual has unique needs, emotions, and aspirations, and there is no quick-fix formula for leading them effectively.The best leaders are those who can read the room, understand the aspirations of their people, and adapt their style to get things done without breaking trust or morale.There are countless definitions of leadership and management.

For decades, “energy healing” was whispered in the margins of science, a term spoken more in yoga studios than in medical journals. But that era is ending. Recent studies from MIT have shown measurable effects of energy based interventions on cancer cells, and the U.S. National Institutes of Health has begun funding biofield research exploring […]

For decades, success was measured by how much we could do, how many hours we could grind, how many goals we could chase, and how much we could squeeze into a single day. Hustle became something like a badge of honor. The human body, mind, and spirit were never designed for constant acceleration. Somewhere along […]

On the average day happiness is letting go of what you assume life is supposed to be like, and sincerely appreciating it for everything it is.Over the past 15 years, as Angel and I have gradually worked with hundreds of our course students, coaching clients, and live event attendees, we’ve come to understand that the root cause of most human stress is simply our stubborn propensity to hold on to things. In a nutshell, we hold on tight to the hope that things will go exactly as we imagine, and then we complicate our lives to no end when they don’t.For example, there are a number of times when our minds cling to unhelpful ideals…In all of these common examples the mind holds on tight to something—an ideal—that isn’t real.

ADHD is distributed across individuals of all intellectual levels, and some of those individuals have high IQs. There is significant overlap of characteristics among people with ADHD, high IQ, and creativity — like curiosity, impatience, high energy, low tolerance for boredom, charisma, nonconformity, risk-taking, and resistance to authority.High-IQ people with attention deficit often excel at tasks requiring divergent thinking, which is spontaneous and non-linear — “out of the box” thinking.

“Twenty-five years ago, ADHD was seen as our fault, not a treatable condition. Today, I feel comfortable talking about ADHD with anyone.” — Sean, Texas“The understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity grows every year.

On a hot summer day in my new office, my client and I were shivering cold. “The air conditioning is hyperactive, maybe?” I jokingly wondered as we pulled on sweaters. I turned the thermostat up to 76 degrees, then 80, but the cold air wouldn’t stop.“Our HVAC system seems overactive,” I explained later to my husband.
