With all the things we have to do as parents and as adults, it seems like we never have enough time to stop and enjoy where we are. But the truth is that being fully present and engaged can actually transform how we experience time—when we focus on what we love, it brings joy into those moments and creates a ripple effect on every aspect of our lives.

Cassie Holmes, a professor at UCLA and a leading expert on time and happiness, shares how we can shift from merely managing our time to fully embracing it. How will you make the most of the time you have with your kids while they’re still kids?

We all go through valleys in life, and during these times it’s easy to feel disconnected and alone. Shame, uncertainty, and grief can lead us to stay silent. But it’s crucial to talk about our experiences—especially as parents, when isolation can hit hard.

Today's clip features David Brooks, who points out the deep crisis of isolation and fragmentation facing our society. He talks about a range of everyday yet exceptional people he calls Weavers, who lead lives of greater purpose and joy through human connection. Real change begins not with so-called “success,” but with awareness and small meaningful actions starting right in your home.

As a parent, you likely have questions and concerns about the role of AI in your kiddos’ education. Regardless of your stance or current use of AI, one thing is sure—your kids need you to understand it in order to guide them in using it wisely, instead of experimenting with it on their own.

Today’s clip with Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy, will hopefully ease your mind and actually get you excited about the benefits AI could offer your child in their learning experience. He dives into how AI can revolutionize education by making it more personalized, interactive, and accessible for every student.
