Most of us spend our whole lives trying to escape the restless feeling inside. We give it different names like ambition, anxiety, or longing, but the goal is usually the same, to get rid of it. We grow up believing that peace means finally being free from wanting things. But real freedom only becomes visible once you've achieved enough, or let go of enough.Sadhguru says the opposite.

5 bedtime shlokas for children to end the day with positive thoughts and sleep peacefully
Bedtime isnt just about switching off the artificial lights, its also the time when the mind replays the entire day. To set the mind at peace, many elderly in Indian families follow a simple practice: Chanting shlokas. While weve often seen grandparents follow this tradition, its an effective way that can even help children to wrap the day peacefully.

Top parenting coach shares how to teach sons to choose the right friends at every age
Having good friends is a blessing. They are the ones who support, respect and bring the best out of you. For parents, especially those raising sons, one of the biggest concerns is the kind of friendship their child forms.Top parenting coach Wendy Ologe says, the goal of parenting is not to raise a child who simply finds good friends, but to raise one who can recognize healthy friendships. Since the meaning of friendship changes from childhood to adulthood, so does the guidance children need. Heres what parents need to teach sons so they choose the right friends at every age. Age 3 to 6Friendship should be full of kindness and safety. At this age, friendship is simple. According to the parenting expert, at this age, parents should teach children three things: A friend is someone who is kind, not someone who is loud, popular, or dominant.Friends do not hit, bully, hurt, or take things without asking.It is okay to move away from someone who makes you feel unsafe, scared, or sad.Age 7 to 10 This is where influence begins. As children grow older, friends start playing a bigger role in shaping their behaviour. They begin comparing themselves with others, following group habits, and seeking acceptance. At this age, teach your child these four things: Not everyone who plays with you is someone who helps you grow.Good friends encourage you to make better choices, not push you toward disrespectful behaviour.If you constantly get into trouble because of someone, that friendship needs to be questioned.Friends should respect teachers, rules, and boundaries.Age 11 to 13This is where friendship starts forming identity.The pre-teen years can be challenging because the need to belong becomes stronger. Children may start changing their behaviour to fit in or gain approval.At this stage, parents can help sons understand:You do not have to change who you are to be accepted.Being popular is not the same as having good character.Friends can influence your confidence, values, and decisions.Pay attention to: Do I like the person I become around this friend?Age 14 to 17Friendships can shape the direction of life.Teenage years bring greater independence. Friend groups can influence habits, communication style, priorities, and even future decisions.Parents can guide teenagers to understand:Friends influence your habits, language, discipline, and mindset.The people around you often shape the direction you move in.Setting boundaries is important, even with long-term friends.It is okay to outgrow friendships respectfully.Age 18 and above In adulthood, friendships become alignment.As young adults step into the world, they begin choosing relationships based on their own values and goals.Parents can encourage them to:Choose friends who align with their purpose, not just their comfort.Remember that the people you spend the most time with can influence your mindset and lifestyle.Build friendships that bring growth, respect, and honesty.Never compromise integrity for acceptance.Teaching Sons About Friendship Is Teaching Them About LifeThe friends children choose can influence their confidence, behaviour, values, and future. But the ultimate goal is not to pick their friends for them, it is to raise children who can recognise healthy relationships on their own.When boys learn kindness in childhood, awareness in adolescence, and wisdom in adulthood, they carry a lifelong ability to choose friendships that support who they want to become.

How to recognize manipulation: 5 life skills parents must teach children
Influence is a powerful tool. While good influence can take someone so far in life, bad or unhealthy influence, on the other hand, can lead to negative consequences. When someone tries to put a wrong influence, its called manipulation. Manipulation can be subtle. Even many adults fail to recognize it at times. It is because manipulation doesnt look like that the person is putting obvious pressure. Sometimes manipulation is disguised as friendship, guilt or urgency. This is why helping children recognize manipulative behavior from a young age is an important responsibility. Here are five important lessons parents can teach:Urgency is a warning sign Manipulation often begins with a sense of urgency. It may sound like decide now or dont think too much, but such phrases put pressure to react quickly instead of thinking clearly about a situation. Teach your child that they never have to make an important decision when they feel rushed. A safe person will respect their need for time, while someone trying to control them may push them to answer immediately. Teach kids to firmly reply, I need time to think. Learning to pause before responding is a powerful thing one can do. Recognize the feelings behind the wordsManipulation is not always easy to spot. Sometimes the words may sound harmless, but the feeling behind them can tell children something is wrong. Teach children that if they feel pressured to agree, guilty for saying no or confused about what they really want, then they dont have to ignore the discomfort. Just because someone is friendly or sounds convincing, doesnt mean their intentions are good. This isnt about making children doubt everyone, its about teaching them that their feelings are important signals. Kindness is not the same as giving in Kindness is a super power, and children are often taught to be kind. However, the kindest children are often the most targeted. This is why children need to understand that kindness does not mean always agreeing with others. Manipulative people may try to take advantage of a child's kindness and say, Youll do it for me, right? In these situations, a child who always remains kind may feel guilty to say no and thus may even end up in unwanted situations. Make it clear to children that kindness has limits. Teach them what real no sound likeFor many children, saying No comes with a feeling of disappointing others or appearing rude. They may soften their answer, over-explain, or agree to things they are uncomfortable with just to keep someone happy. Teach your child that a clear boundary does not need a long explanation or an apology. No long explanations, no apologies, and no maybe. Teach them that No means No. A confident no can sound like, No, Im not doing that.Disappointing someone is not the same as hurting them Many children fear saying no because they dont want to upset anyone. They feel that disappointing someone is wrong. Manipulators often say phrases like, If you really cared about me, you would do it. but children must understand that disappointing others is sometimes about protecting their own boundaries. Teach children that they are allowed to make respectful choices that feel right to them, even if someone else doesnt like those choices.Children need to understand that healthy relationships feel respectful Children often learn about relationships by observing the people around them. While they are taught to be friendly, sharing, and caring, they also need to understand what respect looks like in a relationship. A healthy relationship does not depend on fear, guilt, pressure, or making someone feel responsible for another persons happiness. A good friend, family member, or trusted person will listen, respect boundaries, and accept when someone says no. Helping children recognize respect early teaches them an important lesson: kindness should feel safe, not stressful. This understanding helps them build healthier friendships and protect themselves from unhealthy influence as they grow.

As parents, few things are more scary than watching your child drift towards the wrong path. Whether it's substance abuse, unhealthy friendships or disrespectful behaviour many parents today are struggling with a question: How do we guide children in a world filled with distractions and temptations?A recent interaction shared by spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj has struck a chord with many families. He recalled a conversation with a young boy who told him something heartbreaking. I got trapped in alcohol from Class 9. Now that I am in Class 12, I sometimes feel like destroying myself, the boy said. What Premanand Maharaj said next is what has left many people wondering. This is not the story of one child. Thousands of children are facing the same situation today.Why are so many children falling into harmful habits?Premanand Maharaj believes a big part of the problem is that values are quietly disappearing from homes. If parents themselves do not understand spiritual values, what will they teach their children? he asked. He isn't talking about religion here. He's talking about simple things: self-control, knowing right from wrong, respecting others. With phones, social media and peer pressure all competing for a child's attention, these basics are getting lost.When correcting a child becomes controversialHere's something many teachers and older parents will relate to. Maharaj pointed out that discipline has become a touchy subject. Today, if a teacher tries to discipline a child, parents often oppose the teacher, he said. Children need love, yes. But they also need boundaries. When every correction feels like an attack, kids never really learn to take responsibility for their actions.A growing lack of respect at homeAnother thing Premanand Maharaj noted is the way some children speak to their own parents.He said that many young children have started speaking to elders in a dismissive or disrespectful way. It's not about the occasional argument. It's about a pattern. And when that pattern sets in early, it's often a sign of something deeper going on.The one solution he believes can helpWhile discussing the challenges facing today's generation, Premanand kept coming back to the same point: spirituality. The condition of society and the younger generation is worsening because they have moved away from spirituality. This can be corrected only through spirituality, he said.Now, that doesn't have to mean temple visits or prayers every morning (though it can). For many families, it simply means teaching children gratitude, honesty, compassion and the ability to pause before making a bad decision. Giving them an inner sense of right and wrong, something that works even when no one is watching.What parents can take away from thisChildren need more than just good marks. They also need values, guidance, meaningful conversations, and role models in the form of their parents at home. It is obvious that you can't control every person your child meets or every video they watch. But creating an environment built on trust, discipline, respect, and strong values can go a long way in helping children make better choices.Because at the end of the day, good parenting isn't just about keeping kids away from bad habits. It's about making sure they have the strength to walk away from those habits on their own.

Which countries are home to the worlds deadliest Taipan Snakes?
The inland taipan is among the most dangerous snakes in the world and has venom that no other reptile can certainly match for being the most venomous snake globally.It is famously known as the fierce snake, whose venom measures drop for drop, and nothing else comes close. A single bite delivers enough toxin to kill hundreds of thousands of mice, and that venom works quickly enough to shut down the nervous system and the blood's ability to clot.Given these characteristics, one might expect frequent encounters with these four dangerous venomous creatures, but contrary to its reputation, the inland taipan is shy, secretive, and strangely reluctant to use the weapon it carries. It would far rather slip away than strike, and people who share its territory can go a lifetime without ever seeing one.So what is this snake, really, and what creatures are actually home to it?

Getting children to follow simple routines can be difficult sometimes. What many parents do is nag children for little things: to brush their teeth, switch off the TV, or finish homework. Many times, these repeated instructions turn into arguments. Parenting coach Parikshit Jobanputra suggests that the way parents communicate these everyday expectations can make a big difference. According to him, instead of giving children commands, parents should use positive phrases that make children feel involved, motivated and understood. Here are some of the magic words the parenting coach recommends:

A social media visual test claims to reveal how you treat others based on whether you first see a person standing or a larger face.

You know what your father did today? For many children, this simple sentence becomes the beginning of a burden they were never meant to carry. It often starts innocently. A mother vents after an argument or a father complains about feeling unappreciated. Most parents don't do this on purpose. It's not malicious, rather it's exhaustion. But what parents do not realise is that kids cannot process emotional stuff the way adults can. They may sit quietly and nod but cannot offer solutions. They can only absorb the emotions being placed on them. And sometimes, they carry those emotions for years.Here are five hidden ways children can be affected when they become the emotional dumping ground for their parents' marital struggles.They feel responsible for fixing problems they cannot solveKids want their parents to be happy. It's almost wired into them. So the moment a child starts hearing about marital troubles on repeat, something shifts. They start trying to help. Behaving extra well. Being the easy kid so there's one less thing to fight about. Sometimes even quietly trying to play peacemaker between two people who are, let's be honest, struggling to make peace with each other. And here's the cruel part: they're trying to solve something even the adults can't sort out. So they just keep trying. And keep failing. And keep feeling like it's somehow on them.They start living with anxiety about the futureOnce a kid starts hearing about the fights, the silences, the tension their mind doesn't just switch off after the conversation ends. Are they going to split up? Is there going to be another fight tonight? Is something actually wrong with our family? They probably never say any of this out loud. But it sits there, in the back of their head, for months. Sometimes years. And when home starts to feel unpredictable, kids carry around this quiet anxiety that they can't always explain, even to themselves.They get trapped between the two people they love mostThink about how impossible this is. One parent vents about the other. Again and again. And slowly, without anyone saying it outright, the child starts to feel like they're supposed to pick a side. Except both sides are their parents. People they love equally, unconditionally, without question. So now what? If they comfort one parent, they feel like they're betraying the other. If they stay neutral, they feel like they're letting someone down anyway. There's no right answer. There's no way to win. And no kid should ever have to feel like loving both their parents is somehow a problem.It shapes how they view relationships later in lifeHere's something most parents don't think about: kids learn what relationships are supposed to look like by watching theirs. That's it. That's the blueprint they get.So if what they grew up hearing was criticism, resentment, unresolved fights, constant low-level tension that becomes their baseline for what ormal looks like. Some grow up scared of getting too close to anyone. Some struggle to trust partners, always half-expecting things to fall apart. Others panic at the smallest disagreement in their own relationships, because somewhere deep down, conflict still feels like the beginning of the end.It doesn't show up immediately. It shows up later in relationships their parents will probably never even see.They may eventually resent the parent who oversharedIn the moment, a parent confiding in their child can feel like closeness. Like trust. Like we're a team. But kids grow up. And with that growing up comes perspective. A lot of adults look back and realise: I was a child. That wasn't my load to carry. And instead of remembering those conversations as bonding moments, they remember them as something heavier. Something unfair. What once felt like being let in often gets reframed, years later, as being burdened.So what's the alternative?Look, needing to vent isn't the problem. Every parent going through a rough patch needs somewhere to put that. The issue isn't that you need support. It's who you're directing it at. Call a friend. Talk to your sibling, your own parent, a cousin who gets it. Find a therapist if you can. Even a few sessions can help more than people expect.So next time you're about to tell your child everything that went wrong today, just pause for a second and ask yourself: am I telling them this because it'll help them? Or because I need someone to talk to? If it's the second one, and honestly, most of the time it is, they're not the right person for this.
