We are not past the point of no return. We are at a crossroads. If we continue to drift apart, the future may echo the collapse of the past. But if we face the fractures with clarity and courage, we can write a different story. drsamgoldstein.substack.com/p/the-beginn...

Pseudoscience is not science. So what makes something pseudoscientific, why do we fall for it, and how can we protect ourselves? #pseudoscience #belief #reality #science open.substack.com/pub/drsamgol...

Preparing kids for the future doesn’t mean stuffing them full of information. It means helping them make sense of the world. It means teaching them how to think, how to feel, and how to relate to others. It means showing them what it is to be human and what kind of humans we hope they’ll become.

The mind is malleable. It learns. It adapts. It can grow stronger or get stuck. It can be trained like a muscle or neglected like an attic. It can evolve, if you let it. We don’t just have minds. We are minds.

We believe in the importance of science, research, and innovation. Every child deserves the opportunity to live a healthy life without mental torment. Collaboration between specialists in neurology and psychiatry can greatly benefit patients. www.rdmdd.org/news-updates... #dmdd

For a lot of adults on the autism spectrum, navigating everyday life can feel like stepping into a movie where everyone else got the script ahead of time and you didn’t. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rais... #Autism

We’ve all heard it before: “You are the way you are because of your genes.” And yes, biology does shape us. But it’s not the entire story and definitely not the final one. Our genes don’t hand us a fixed script. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rais... #biology #genes

Will we act boldly enough to develop youth who not only survive the storm, but lead us through it?

Real care isn’t about efficiency or having the right answer. It’s about being present. It’s about noticing the pause before a child speaks, the shift in someone’s tone, or the way a parent’s eyes well up before they even say a word. That’s not something you can teach a machine, at least for now.

Imagine a world where resilience isn’t heroic or rare but expected. Read my article at @psychologytoday.com . www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rais... #resilience #society #thrive #safety

You’ve seen it on posters, heard it in commencement speeches, maybe even told your kids to “be resilient.” But what does resilience really mean, especially for children facing adversity? #resilience www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rais...
