Imagine a mom shopping with her toddler. She turns around for a moment, only to find her child missing. Moments later, she discovers them in a toy store, captivated by the colorful displays. Research shows that toddlers often wander off, drawn by bright colors or unusual sounds, as they explore their surroundings and assert their independence. For them, it’s an adventure; for parents, it's a heart-stopping moment. While wandering is a natural behavior, parents can use certain tricks to find their kids faster. Krista Piper (@krista.piper), a mom from Ohio, shared a viral “looking loudly” hack on TikTok that's helping parents everywhere.

Walking is a basic ability that most of us don’t think twice about—until age starts taking a toll on our muscles and balance. As the years go by, muscles weaken, and shaky knees can turn once-smooth strides into wobbly steps. While many people focus on anti-aging routines for their skin, they often overlook the importance of staying fit to maintain mobility. A new study published in PLOS One highlights a simple yet powerful way to monitor how aging impacts the body: by testing balance on one leg.

Before generational labels like Boomers and Gen Z, people were identified by cliques such as “band kids,” “theatre nerds,” “jocks,” and “geeks.” Today, tick-box quizzes and memes like “OK, Boomer” define generational traits. For those unsure of their generational identity, comedian Tess Tregellas offers a humorous solution with a song lyric. Her video has garnered millions of amused viewers.

In the classic vintage times, before the naming of different generations, people usually labeled each other with cliques like “band kids,” “theatre nerds,” “jocks,” and “geeks.” Nowadays, things like tick-box quizzes and memes such as “OK, Boomers” define the characteristics of various generational cohorts. But for those who don’t know where to place themselves in the newly emerging generation classification chart, a comedian offers a song lyric. Her video drew the attention of millions of people who had amusing reactions. 

"Men don’t cry." This phrase has long discouraged men from showing vulnerability, pushing the idea that to be a "protector" and "provider," men must hide their emotions. This belief paints emotional expression as inherently feminine, even though men experience emotions just as deeply. Canadian teacher Brendan Kwiatkowski (@remasculine) dives into this issue, describing it as a “boy crisis.” In his TikTok video, "The boy crises at ages 5 and 15," Brendan examines how boys are conditioned to suppress emotions, especially tears.
