A Conversation piece argues that sharing meals several times a week builds healthy eating habits and social skills in children. It outlines four practical tips to reduce dinner-time chaos: aim for a realistic schedule (e.g., three family dinners weekly or a shared breakfast if nights are busy), avoid cooking separate meals for kids, drop coercive rules that pressure intake, and involve children in food prep and presentation to make meals engaging.

Raising Calm Boys: Practical Ways to Help Them Deal with Anger

The piece argues anger is a normal emotion for kids and that boys often externalize it. It offers practical strategies for parents: help children label their feelings to increase awareness, soothe them calmly to model self-regulation, and use appropriate consequences for aggressive behavior. Recognize individual differences and gender patterns, and seek professional help if anger is frequent or pervasive across settings (home, school). The goal is to let kids feel anger while teaching them not to act on it with aggression.

India's Proposed Broadcasting Law Revolutionizes Regulation for OTTs and Broadcasters

India has proposed a new draft broadcasting law that will regulate the sector and also apply to streaming giants like Netflix, Disney, and Amazon. The law calls for the formation of individual content evaluation committees and aims to establish robust self-regulation. The government will have the power to define the committees' size, quorum, and operational details, and only shows certified by these committees will be allowed to be broadcast. The proposal has raised concerns about censorship and government control over content. The law will also provide powers to regulate online creators and news media platforms.

Regulatory Challenges and Controversies Surrounding US Crypto Laws and AI-based Tokens

US Securities and Exchange Commissioner Hester Peirce, also known as "Crypto Mom," argues that cryptocurrency laws in the United States should not assume that every use of crypto is financial. She believes that the regulatory framework should be reserved and flexible enough to accommodate new uses of crypto and blockchain technology. Peirce emphasizes the importance of protecting investors but also allowing individuals to invest their own money as they choose. She advocates for self-regulation within the crypto industry and criticizes the SEC's current approach, calling for a rethinking of how innovation is approached.
