Warren Buffett keeps his wallet closed. Berkshire Hathaway did not buy back any shares in the first nine months of 2025, even as the conglomerate’s cash pile swelled to a record $382 billion.

Logic and preaching don’t work when your child is having a tantrum.I’ve studied over 200 children and worked with hundreds of families, and one thing is clear: tantrums are not defiant.

These seven magical phrases tap into your child’s nervous system by calming the storm, restoring safety, and teaching emotional regulation, the real skill behind resilience.1. Don’t say anythingWhen…
