Mother whose three daughters are CEOs and a doctor shares her one 'unpopular' parenting rule

[1]( [Mother whose three daughters are CEOs and a doctor shares her one 'unpopular' parenting rule]( Esther Wojcicki has earned the right to tell people how to raise their kids. She’s an educator, journalist and bestselling author of "How to Raise Successful People" who has raised three daughters—two are CEOs and the other a doctor. Susan Wojcicki is the CEO of YouTube, Anne Wojcicki is the co-founder and CEO of 23andMe and Dr. Janet Wojcicki is an anthropologist and epidemiologist who works on HIV progression and obesity risk in children. In "How to Raise Successful People" Esther Wojcicki says the secret to success is the result of “TRICK”: trust, respect, independence, collaboration and kindness. In a new article she wrote for NBC Chicago, she boiled that down to one rule, “Don't do anything for your kids that they can do for themselves.” [Read the story]( [2]( [Dick Van Dyke buys coats and gives them to those in need in latest display of his generous heart]( Van Dyke was recently seen buying coats for people in need before dropping them off at his favorite nonprofit organization, reports [Daily Mail](. The 96-year-old Hollywood legend was photographed purchasing multiple red plaid winter coats from a store before personally delivering the clothing to his preferred charity. The renowned "Mary Poppins" actor is said to have been spotted pulling a cart full of the clothing, before placing them into his car. A little while later, the vehicle was seen parked outside the nonprofit where Van Dyke dropped off his recent purchases. People who came looking for the organization's services would have undoubtedly been moved by the star's generosity as they returned with brand-new coats.

No steep-timers, no scales, no worries. Just a simple love for sweet, fresh, aromatic tea leaves. Ones with complex flavors and aftertastes. Seems like an unimaginable thing to do with the old blends that are tucked away in little mesh baggies in the back corners of your cupboard, right? [That’s the Verdant Tea difference](. Every batch of tea is crafted by hand. And that’s why brewing Verdant Tea is no fuss – their farmers already got all of the hard work out of the way so that all you have to do is sit back and savor the goodness that they created. With a healthy, biodiverse landscape, deliberate farming practices and dedicated craft, each of these [family farmers]( delivers a product that’s unlike any tea on the shelves. And that’s because their teas never make it to “shelves” where they become overly dry and stale. Instead, they ship directly to your door so that you can experience and enjoy the incredible flavors of farm-fresh tea leaves. Verdant Tea was founded in 2011 after David and Lily visited China on a research grant to collect the folklore and tradition of tea. After realizing the true taste difference of tea straight from the farm, they partnered with a tea farmer, He Qingqing, to bring her family’s teas to people all over the world.

Artists who use it have been able to create some truly remarkable works—whether that’s bringing back [beloved icons]( or bringing [cartoon characters]( to life in a hyper-realistic way. The creators behind [Mystery Scoop]( have also blended some digital art wizardry and AI programs to render portraits from the late Victorian era that not only have stunning color, but lifelike movements. And the results are mesmerizing. A video posted to their YouTube channel titled “[19th Century Portraits Brought To Life]( shows Victorian men and women as they undergo a full restoration, thanks to colorists [Klimbim]( and [Lorenzo Folli](. But the magic doesn’t stop there. The “labor of love” also incorporates the “latest tools in AI technology" to bring facial movements to the photo. These static, black-and-white portraits quickly become breathing, blinking, smirking seemingly living beings. For many viewers, the modernized portraits provided so much more than shock value. People were genuinely moved—a tried-and-true sign of successful art. “I cannot explain the emotions that this brought over me,” one person commented. “I began to tear up immediately. Knowing that these people are long gone...yet brought to life by someone years after their passing. They're being remembered in such a beautiful way. Seeing them fade in and out of life was haunting. This was absolutely powerful.” The video focuses on teens, primarily teens of color, who became a higher risk for mental health issues in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. These young people are met with less-than-helpful messages from friends and family like “It’s all in your head,” “Think happier thoughts,” “I don’t know why you're so sad, you’ve got a roof over your head” and the (sadly) ever-popular “Men don’t cry in this house.” [Read the story]( [5]( [Soul Asylum's '90s hit song 'Runaway Train' helped save 21 missing children]( Some things simply just start to suck the older you get. I'm not sure if there's a reason for it other than leaving your house for anything starts to feel like an extreme inconvenience. Something about aging and interacting with the public just doesn't mix and [people on Reddit]( have just about had it with things that seem to get worse with age. When you're a kid all you can think about is all of the things you'll get to be able to do when [you're an adult]( but I swear it's a scam. Sure, you can stay out until the sun comes up, but after you hit your mid-30s, you're just as likely to be snuggled up in pajamas and ready for bed by 8:30 p.m. [Reddit users]( seem to agree that once you reach a certain age, things become annoying for no real reason. It does give you insight into the grumpy old man trope that has been inundating our television screens since there were screens to inundate. One user is likely my long-lost twin because their No. 1 complaint is, "Shopping. for anything... including groceries. Shopping used to be fun. Now it is a chore." All I can say is, same. There's absolutely nothing fun or exciting about shopping anymore and it's a pretty good guess that places like Walmart surveyed some irritated millennials before rolling out grocery pickup, which has conveniently graduated into grocery delivery. Here are the top eight things people just aren't thrilled about anymore, in no particular order.
