Finding something unusual in your child’s hair can be alarming. Whether it’s a bump, a strange texture, or even something moving, the first reaction is often worry. Hair- and scalp-related issues in children can range from harmless to conditions that require medical attention. The key is to stay calm, observe carefully, and decide if professional care is needed. 1. First Steps: What Did You Notice? Take a close look at what you’ve found. Is it a small moving insect, a cluster of tiny eggs, or just a change in hair texture? Note any symptoms such as itching, redness, or bumps.…

For years, I’ve endured my mother-in-law’s passive-aggressive remarks about my son’s appearance, but I never imagined she would take her obsession this far. My husband and I are both white, though I have Mediterranean roots, and our son inherited my olive skin and curly hair. Apparently, that wasn’t “enough” for her. She has always made snide comments like, “Are you sure he’s really ours?” or “He doesn’t look like my son at all.” At first, I brushed them off as poor jokes, but over time, it became clear she might actually believe them. Last week, she babysat our son, and…

The rain beat against the windshield of the old yellow cab as Pablo adjusted the cap he had bought that morning. His hands—used to signing multimillion-dollar contracts and clinking crystal glasses at charity galas—now trembled on the worn steering wheel. Never in his life had he imagined himself here, disguising himself as a taxi driver, waiting to spy on his wife. Pablo had built an empire from nothing. His name filled newspapers, his picture appeared in glossy magazines, and his hotel chain stretched across continents. Yet, sitting in the sagging driver’s seat of a borrowed cab, he felt like the…

Experts have issued an update on Hurricane Gabrielle, which could hit the US East Coast. With the Atlantic hurricane season lasting until November 30, there is still unfortunately plenty of time for the US coast and even further inland to be impacted by tropical storms in 2025. Hurricane Erin caused widespread disruption last month, with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) now warning about Gabrielle, which was confirmed to be a hurricane on Sunday (September 21). After nearly disappearing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on Friday and into Saturday, experts say Gabrielle is now a Category 3 storm. Category…

My husband left me on the side of the road with these words: “You’re worthless to anyone.” But only an hour later, a limousine—the kind he had only ever seen in movies—pulled up in front of me… “Sell. And please, Clara, without your dramatic sighs.” The sharp voice of my husband, Alberto, pierced the silence as I looked out the window at the old chestnut trees. Those same trees beneath which, as a child, I used to hide slips of paper filled with secrets. “Alberto, I told you… we agreed not to reopen this topic.” “Agreed? I didn’t agree with…

When Lydia Ward tucked her four-year-old son into bed one quiet evening, she expected the usual requests for an extra story or a glass of water. Instead, Ethan looked at her with wide, serious eyes and whispered: “My real mother is in the well.” Lydia froze. She glanced at her husband, Daniel, who sat in the living room reading the newspaper. “What did you say, sweetheart?” she asked gently, brushing his hair off his forehead. “My real mom wore a blue dress,” Ethan replied matter-of-factly. “She fell into the well in our yard. Daddy Daniel was there.” Lydia’s heart skipped.…

When temperatures rise, mosquitoes multiply quickly, bringing plenty of discomfort into daily life. Their buzzing disrupts sleep, their bites cause itching, and, more importantly, they can spread infectious diseases like dengue fever.

Many of these are natural “enemies” of mosquitoes, and you can take advantage of them to…
