Violating a National Advertising Division rule isn't the same as violating a US law. But advertisers rely extensively on the self-regulatory system to handle disputes and determine whether specific ads are misleading and should be pulled. Companies generally abide by the self-regulatory body's rulings. While they try to massage the truth in ways that favor their own brands, they want to have some credibility left over to bring complaints against misleading ads launched by their competitors.

The amount of often conflicting advice for parents and caregivers available on social media can feel overwhelming. How does one even begin to sort through this overabundance of advice, much less figure out what is best practice for building healthy relationships? The Spirited Child Approach has been developed over decades of working with families of spirited children who are typical and yet more intense, persistent, perceptive, sensitive, and energetic. It interweaves findings from the fields of temperament, secure attachment, sleep, development, resiliency, neurobiology, and self-regulation.

When the causes of body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (excoriation disorder), or nail biting, are discussed, the question often arises: Are these behaviors caused by trauma? It's a fair question. The assumption makes intuitive sense. Many behaviors that cause physical harm or distress are linked to emotional pain or traumatic experiences. However, the science paints a more nuanced picture.

You pick up your child from school, ready to hear about their day, and within minutes, there are tears, meltdowns, or angry outbursts. Or maybe it looks different in your house: Your child gets silly, wild, and harder to settle. Welcome to the wonderful world of after-school restraint collapse. All day at school, kids work hard to manage themselves. They follow rules, use polite words, sit still, and keep their emotions in check. They are exercising enormous self-control, and their brains and bodies get depleted.

View Consistency as a Tool, Not a Test Simply put, consistency is one of the most reliable ways to succeed. It's a powerful tool, but it's easy to fall into self-talk that treats it as more than a tool, like "winners are consistent and losers aren't." View consistency as a tool suited to particular tasks, like using a powered nail gun for constructing a building instead of a hammer. When you view consistency as a tool rather than a judgment, you can explore when it's well-suited to the task at hand and take other judgments out of it. For example, you can remove judgments about whether you enjoy consistency or are good at it, and focus on how consistency can serve you in achieving what you want.

Industry self-regulation offers a powerful, flexible force that can bridge the divide between disparate legal systems and foster international cooperation in technology.

"When people believe emotions are useful, they can regulate their emotions better and have better outcomes. Learning to appreciate boredom can make it feel less painful."

In a world where classrooms evolve into intelligent, interactive platforms, learners must take control of their learning journeys through strong self-regulatory skills.

Critical thinking is a process of thinking about thinking through purposeful, self-regulated judgment.
