Important update: Meta/Instagram are currently facing technical issues. Meta... has confirmed they’re working on fixing them, but meanwhile engagement may look much lower than reality. 💡😉 That’s why it’s even more important now: go set Orm Kornnaphat and Lingling Kwong as your Favorites on IG so you never miss their posts. ✨ When you add an account to Favorites, Instagram prioritizes that creator’s posts in your feed and notifications. 👉 The more people add them , or any influencer to Favorites, the faster their posts get seen boosting Engagement Rate (ER) and EMV/MIV. For big brands like Dior, Omega, Bulgari, Cartier… higher engagement visibility = stronger proof of influence. So let’s work smart because it’s not only them who are affected by this issue. #LingOrm #หลิงออม #LinglingKwong #หลิงหลิงคอง #OrmKornnaphat #ออมกรณ์นภัส orm kornnaphat🌈 linglingsirilakshow more

First of all, before anything else congratulations to our... stars 🥰 What happened at Paris Fashion Week FW26 is HUGE, and there is nothing more to say except that we are incredibly proud. According to the SOV analysis from Onclusive, Lingling Kwong ranked #1 with 31.8% Share of Voice, and Orm Kornnaphat ranked #2 with 24.6% among 234 global celebrities tracked. "This means the two most talked-about personalities of the entire fashion week were both Thai actresses attending the Dior show" Even more importantly, the data shows something bigger: Their combined presence generated more than 56% of the celebrity conversation around Christian Dior. It is important to clarify something here: This result is based on SOV (Share of Voice) calculated by Onclusive. SOV is different from MIV and EMV, and it is also different from the SOV metrics used inside some MIV based reports. - SOV measures conversation dominance how much people talk about someone. - MIV/EMV measure the media value of exposure. So the methodology is not the same. And here We Go : 1) About the map shown in the article Under the visualization, the article clearly states: “The map of social media influence around the Dior brand: fan groups rallying around ambassadors, faces and attendees such as Lingling Kwong, Orm Kornnaphat, Jisoo (Blackpink), Anya Taylor-Joy, and Hyunjin (Stray Kids).” What does that mean? The map shows how fan communities and media conversations connected around Dior during Paris Fashion Week. Some accounts appear closer to Lingling Kwong or Orm Kornnaphat? yes and No ... The map is not centered on Lingling or Orm. It is centered on Dior. (Of course Dior isn’t connected to Lingling alone. You can clearly see that the Dior account is positioned around Lingling icon it's mean under Lingling kwong posts or under Dior Post fans position dior a more than under Orm posts and position lingling and dior more ) As for Tagtrend and LingormBh AND lingling Th or orm cn or orm th here they are not mean are around Lingling kwong or orm kornnaphat here they are around diorr !!!! Another proof , Under OrmKornnaphatCN, you can see something like: Influence degree: 456 This means that this account had 456 connection links in the conversation network around Dior during Paris Fashion Week FW26. These links can come from: people reposting its posts people mentioning that account the account mentioning others reply conversations posts being quoted or shared So the system detected 456 interaction connections linked to that account within the conversation network used in the analysis. This does not mean these interactions are about Orm alone. They are connections inside the discussion network related to Dior during Paris Fashion Week where Orm Kornnaphat appears in the conversation. It also does not mean that Orm CN or any other official fan page did not work hard. The map here is simply showing how conversations connect around Dior, not measuring how much each fanbase supports their star. The visualization is not centered on Lingling or Orm individually. It is centered on Dior, showing how different fan communities and media conversations interacted around the brand during Paris Fashion Week FW26. You can clearly see that even smaller accounts with relatively few followers appear in the map. Why? Because they replied, quoted, reposted, or participated in conversations related to Dior, which creates connections inside the network. OR even ch3 they only post one image saying congratulation for dior and lingorm The visualization simply shows how different communities amplified the Dior discussion through the celebrities attending the show 2) Now About hashtags and SOV The article clearly states: “Hashtags represent only a portion of the data used in calculating SOV.” It also explains that the top-25 hashtag chart shown in the article is only an extract from 281 hashtags analyzed during Paris Fashion Week. So hashtags are not the main calculation method for SOV. SOV is based on mentions across the entire media ecosystem. For example, imagine the system tracked 10,000 total celebrity mentions during Paris Fashion Week FW26. If Lingling Kwong was mentioned 3,180 times: 3180 ÷ 10000 × 100 = 31.8% SOV If Orm Kornnaphat was mentioned 2,460 times: 2460 ÷ 10000 × 100 = 24.6% SOV Mentions counted in SOV include: Social media posts X (Twitter) with full Firehose access ( Very Important) Instagram TikTok YouTube Reddit Weibo WeChat Naver Online forums and magazines blog posts captions and text mentions (not only hashtags) For example, all of these count as mentions: Post 1 #LinglingKwong at Dior FW26 Post 2 Orm kornnaphat at the Dior show today (no hashtag) Post 3 ( mentions) @ lingling kwong and @ ormkornnaphat looked stunning at Dior All three contribute to the conversation around Christian Dior at Paris Fashion Week. This is why the article states clearly that hashtags represent only part of the data used in calculating SOV. so if you use #diorxCelebrity or #celebrity is ranking under one SOV for this celebrity but in this article they are talking about brand x celebrity # and how much is important now to include celebrity name to make the brand more stronger ( this is the main idea ) The most important point Instead of worrying about differences between charts, we should step back and look at the bigger picture. Two Thai actresses attended one show at Paris Fashion Week and they became the two most talked-about celebrities of the entire event. That is extraordinary. And it proves something very clearly: The global fashion conversation now recognizes the power of Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat, and the incredible strength of their fan communities. 3) Now the focus moves to MIV We still have a few days, and now that these results are public, more media outlets and magazines will continue to write about them. So our focus now should be MIV, which measures the media impact value of posts and coverage. For MIV: Engagement under posts matters Likes and Comments are important interactions under magazine posts are important conversations across platforms contribute to impact. On X, hashtags help grouping and tracking. On Instagram and TikTok, keywords and names inside captions and comments are also very important. On weibo keyword are the most important So let’s work smart and strategically. Because this is only the beginning of proving to the world the power of our stars: Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat. ✨ LINGORM BA DIOR AT PFW26 #LingOrmDiorAW26 #หลิงออม #LingOrm #หลิงหลิงคอง #LinglingKwong #ออมกรณ์นภัส #OrmKornnaphat #DiorAW26 #DIORshow more

Just discovered a looming issue that has been ongoing.... I had been curious why my engagement was not the same - as if something had artificially interfered, and I’ve felt this way for months, but just now have been given official confirmation- Do I feel like it makes sense to limit your reach to people because you are affiliated with brands? No. But I am also appeased knowing that the artificial barrier which had been holding my account back has been discovered and can be adjusted. My account @leviconelyfitness has posts which have reached 7,500 likes when the account has 11,000 followers. My like to view ratio is exorbitant on that profile, but even on this profile, I have healthy and thriving numbers. It’s simply that my reach to the explore page had been shut down by the administration/algorithm. I look forward to the next few stages and posts- to see how much better things could’ve been doing. Meanwhile, I’ll show you examples which can help inform you of what’s possible.show more

On the paper, there's a clear count of how... many times fans tilted their heads toward Ling (L), toward Orm (O), or toward both (LO) while taking photos during the first FMT in Bangkok. And when you look at Orm’s numbers, it's painfully low 🙂 First of all, I completely disagree with and feel very disgusted by this kind of behavior. What pisses me off even more is the double standard. Why is it that when Orm is the one being hurt, people tend to stay silent, as if it’s normal? Yet when it happens to someone else, suddenly the outrage is everywhere. Why is that? Because Orm is humble? Because she always smiles and pretends to be okay, so people think it’s fine to overlook her pain? Orm has been enduring this kind of treatment since the very beginning. It’s not something recent. It’s not something that happened once. It’s been happening again and again, and it’s still happening now. None of Orm’s fans are okay with this, I am not okay with this too, honestly sick of it. But I’ve accepted that, with a fandom this big, we can’t control everything. Still, there are many people who respect both of them, and that gives me a bit of peace But let’s be clear, accepting pain doesn’t mean it’s justified. So to those out there playing the “victim card” while turning a blind eye to everything Orm has been through.... You want to talk about fairness? Then let’s talk about Orm first 🙂show more

Hills I will die on as an elementary school... teacher, who just wrapped up my 32nd year teaching! 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to teach, this profession is not for you. 2. Our students are not “ours”. They are their families, and we need to understand the magnitude of the calling, and responsibility we have to meet them where they are, and to help them to get to a place that they never thought possible. 3. As important as the curriculum is (and it IS important), the children in our classroom are what matter most. It’s our JOB to teach the curriculum to SERVE our students, NOT to use our students to push any sort of agenda. 4. Just as we teach our students to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our students better than they were when they first entered into our classroom. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every child. 5. We should not teach our children WHAT to think, but HOW to think, and how to use that knowledge to bless and serve not only themselves, but the world around them. 6. Our words carry little (or NO value), if we do not practice what we preach. 7. If we don’t make learning fun, children will view learning as a chore, and we we will be creating a generation of children who grow up to be young adults who don’t see the joy in learning new things. 8. The child that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive. 9. Never tell a child they “can’t” do something. God has blessed each of them with far more strengths and talents than we may know, and it’s not our job to tell them what they can’t do, but to help them to realize all the things they CAN do. 10. The legacy you leave as a teacher will never be determined by your student’s test scores, but by the human beings you helped them become throughout their lives.show more

Gonna say something again. Kate posts about the bottom... of her shoes and mentions that she thought heavily about getting them fixed but decided not to because her “boyfriend bought them” for her. She then goes on to say, “For those who pay such close attention to the bottoms of my shoes, where are yours?” It’s just hilarious because SHE DID NOT BUY THEM. She can’t criticize people for not having them, as a way to dig at them for not being able to afford them, as if Liam didn’t buy them for her. This is Kate. She’s materialistic. I don’t care what anyone says; for her to mock others and act as if they’re less than her for not having an expensive product, when she DID NOT EVEN BUY THE PRODUCT HERSELF, is so disgusting. She didn’t work for what she has. She didn’t earn any of it. It was given to her by Liam.show more

let me make sure i’m understanding this correctly the... supreme court is refunding all tariff money back to corporations. the same corporations that didn’t pay a single cent of those tariffs to begin with. they passed every dollar directly to you through higher prices on everything you buy you went to the store and paid more for groceries. you paid more for clothes. for car parts. for literally everything. that money came out of YOUR pocket not theirs and now the refund goes to THEM? the corporations who used the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices even higher than the tariff itself and pocket the difference the american people funded the tariffs. the corporations profited off the tariffs. and now the corporations get a refund on money they never spent in the first place and nobody in washington thinks the people who actually paid should get the money back. not a single person has even suggested it guess we are never getting our DOGE checks either this country does not work for you. it works for them. it’s a joke and they’re not even pretending anymoreshow more

Infant sleep can be such a tricky thing. Just... as soon as you get reaccustomed to resting through the night, all of a sudden your baby reverts to waking multiple times a night. Welcome to the 8 month sleep regression. Interruptions in sleep patterns often coincide with the development of new skills and somewhere around 8 months you’re due for the biggest of them all. That’s because your baby is becoming mobile - and putting all the skills together to roll, crawl, and even pull to a stand in their crib. For infants this is a HUGE breakthrough. Imagine having spent your entire life mostly stationary, with your ability to pursue your own interests - or even adjust your view - subject to the whims of a caregiver. Somewhere between 6-9 months most babies begin discovering a host of new abilities. And let’s face it, some of them are a lot more entertaining than sleep. The good news (at 3am) is that the novelty here is temporary…but there are some important ways you can help your baby to navigate this period safely. Perhaps the most important one is illustrated in this video. And that’s adjusting the height of your child’s crib mattress to its lowest level. With newborns and immobile infants, it’s often convenient to elevate their mattress so they can be placed into and retrieved from the crib more easily. But when your baby begins pulling to a stand it’s critical that you lower their mattress to prevent accidental falls. Babies are top heavy and can easily go tumbling out without such adjustments. You may also find that your baby masters pulling to a stand faster than they master sitting back down - which can create a crib dilemma and a need for assistance. You can navigate through this phase more quickly by providing lots of wakeful practice in both standing and sitting, which may involve gently guiding your little one to bend their legs at the knee - or even placing an appealing toy on the ground near their feet to incentivize sitting back down. As for the sleep regression, it’ll be over before you know it. And while it can be frustrating in the middle of the night, think of it as a breakthrough. Your baby is reaching new developmental milestones - and about to go fully mobile. This sweet little guy was shared to IG by fesgheliha_.show more

How to get rich as a strength coach/personal trainer…... 1. No matter what, claim you played D1 sports somewhere. Maybe bribe a mid major school to put you on their practice roster. Or tell people you got recruited but an injury derailed your career before pre-season so you never played & never got listed on the roster 2. Get as many certs as you can & make sure you list all the initials after your name. The more initials the better. You may not know anything, but people will certainly think you do 3. Get in the best shape possible. Use peptides, deer antler spray. Whatever it takes to get shredded. Abs are very helpful. 4. See point #3. Once you are in good shape, build your entire social media around showing off your physique & how jacked you are. You may be stupid & unable to make a basic program, but kids & parents won’t care. They’ll come train with you because you’re the jacked guy on Instagram who will make them look the same 5. DM every athlete you can find who already trains somewhere else. It’s not their fault that they didn’t hear about you. Honestly, you’re doing them a favor if you poach them from the coach they have gone to for 5 years. They deserve to go to you instead. Tell them how terrible their coach is & that you’ll get them better 6. Any athlete who breathes & commits to a school should be added to your list of accolades. Maybe you only met them once but you certainly should tell everyone they’re committed & got there because of YOU 7. This is where it gets tricky. A good coach must have tech and lots of it. Get a new credit card. Max out your credit line & get the fanciest tech. Force plates, VBT, 1080 sprint. All of it. You won’t know how to use it but you’ll look so smart It’s not easy, but you can do it. 7 simple steps & you too can be an elite strength & conditioning coach/personal trainer!show more

If you have a girlfriend who is into fashion,... or had one years ago, she probably had a Vinted account. Vinted was back in the day the most unhinged female-gaze-focused site on earth. It was 99% women talking about fashion and other stuff. I think today it is a little more professional. The site is basically like eBay for clothes. It was created by a girl who was annoyed by creepy private messages on eBay and wanted a safe space for females. Anyhow, Vinted was the anti-X. On X, it’s an all-men audience having a completely comical understanding of the female gaze, and on Vinted, you basically had young women thinking men are way more emotional than we are. People who form their opinions on women based on Reddit posts, Pornhub, and incels on X are just ridiculous copers. You can always tell by them being completely one-sided and sexualizing everything. A guy on X would be like, “Haha, doesn’t she know that men don’t care about fingernails? She is so dumb.” Bro, women do their fingernails like you wrap your car. It’s not meant to impress the other gender. It’s also ridiculous when incels threaten women with, “He will pump and dump you.” They don’t care. To them, it’s just an adventure. Sex gets increasingly more important to you the harder it is for you to get. Also women understand intersex dynamics way better. They get feedback from an early age. They get complimented, approached, harried based on what they wear. Incel men get no feedback at all until they have their first gf. That’s why their styling is always way off when they try to impress women.show more

“Shokunin Spirit” & Trading Last year, while traveling, I... saw a Japanese tour bus driver sitting in front of the wheels, carefully polishing them. He was waiting for his passengers and could have easily stayed on the bus to rest or play on his phone. But instead, he chose to clean the bus. At that moment, I understood why Japanese taxis and buses are always spotless and shining. That’s when I truly understood what “shokunin spirit” is all about—the dedication to excellence. I used to encourage people to aim for "financial freedom" or "F.I.R.E." as their goal when learning investing and trading. But in recent years, I’ve realized this approach is completely wrong because it puts the cart before the horse. Investing and trading are not easy. It takes more than just a few years to see results. It’s only those with a craftsman’s mindset—who are willing to constantly learn, refine their skills, and embrace challenges without focusing on immediate rewards—who have the best chance of succeeding. Financial freedom, in reality, is just a byproduct of this mindset. If your motivation is "financial freedom," it’s easy to feel frustrated and give up when progress is slow. But if you approach investing and trading with the craftsman spirit, you’ll see failures as part of the process and face them calmly, focusing on finding solutions instead of quitting. Successful traders (or entrepreneurs) don’t see "financial freedom" as their ultimate goal. Even after achieving it, their work and lifestyle often remain the same. What drives them is the craftsman spirit—the desire to keep excelling in the field they love and to push their boundaries. If you truly love your work and what you do, and you live each day fully, you don’t really need financial freedom. You’ve already found freedom in your mindset.show more

So Kate, NOW it’s "I love this album" about... Harry his KATTDO release, NOW you’re dancing to Dance No More, NOW you’re suddenly listening to Zayn his newest song Sideways… and I’m supposed to believe this is genuine? Because let’s not rewrite history here. You NEVER engaged with any of them. Not once. Not when Louis had the premiere of All of Those Voices, not when Niall and Liam were literally together, not at any point where it would’ve actually made sense. No support, no acknowledgment, nothing. Just silence. But now suddenly it’s loud? And what makes it even worse is you couldn’t even show HALF of this energy for your own "love of your life" Liam when he released music. No proper posts, no real support, nothing consistent. But suddenly for Harry and Zayn you’re present, expressive, engaged? Be serious. And let’s be very clear… you’re not winning directioners over with this. You’re not winning solo fans over either. You don’t get to suddenly tap into their music after everything, after the silence, after lying about being a One Direction fan, and expect people to just accept it like it’s normal. It’s not. This isn’t you "finding the music." This is you picking and choosing when to care depending on what benefits you, what gets attention, what keeps you relevant. The pattern is obvious: ignore it when it’s real, show up when it’s convenient. You don’t get to be silent when it mattered and then act like you’re part of it now. That’s not support, that’s opportunistic behaviour. And people DO notice. #JusticeForLiamshow more

Hills I will die on as someone who has... coached high school football for over 29 years: 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to coach, this profession is not for you. 2. As much as we need to know our trade, getting to know (and to love), our players is far more important. 3. This is an INTENSE game, and it’ll never be “just a game”, but it IS a game. Remember that when you’re with your team, and more importantly, remember that when you’re with your family. 4. Just as we teach our athletes to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our athletes better than they were when they first entered into our program. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every individual. 5. Life is complicated enough, let’s not complicate the game in such a way that we take the joy of it away from others. In other words… Keep it simple. 6. Our words carry little (or NO), value, if we don’t practice what we preach. WE as coaches should be learning and growing each and every day, just as we expect our athletes to. 7. As much as we all want to win those championship rings for our athletes, make sure you don’t lose your wedding ring in the process. 8. The athlete that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive. 9. Be where your feet are. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing logos and thinking that a higher division, a bigger school, or going from HS to college, or even college to the pros, is going to be more rewarding or fulfilling. 10. The legacy you leave as a coach will never be determined by your wins and losses, but by the lives you were able to change for the better!show more

Just because your baby’s eyes are open doesn’t necessarily... mean they’re awake. And the same holds true in reverse. Weird, right? During active (or REM) sleep it’s not uncommon for your baby to open their eyes for brief periods, to make noises, and to move their body actively. The (open eyes) phenomenon, known as psychological lagophthalmos, is common in newborns and may be attributable in part to immaturity of their central nervous system. The important thing here is not to be too quick to assume your little one has finished sleeping just because their eyes open. This video is a great example. Baby’s eyes are partially open, but he is in the midst active sleep (which comprises half or more of each newborn sleep cycle). Likewise, there are situations where your child may appear to be asleep, but isn’t. Particularly in bright, noisy, or otherwise overstimulating environments your child may feign sleep (when they are feeling overwhelmed) as a sort of defense mechanism. This is called habituation. And while it may look like sleep it does not provide the same restorative benefits - and often concludes with prolonged periods of crying as a sort of stress relief. Long story short, you can’t always judge your baby’s level of alertness from their eyes alone - so be sensitive and observant in both circumstances. (And if you suspect your baby is habituating due to overstimulation, try to get them to an environment better suited to their needs.) This little one was shared to TT by laura.sunday.show more

Usually I don’t speak on political issues often however... Charlie Kirk’s death (RIP) hits a little too close to home. Perhaps it is because anyone who has some resemblance of a following who is outspoken against any narrative online has probably received some sort of threat in their inbox. (I know I have) It is baffling to me that one could harbour such a large amount of hate inside of them to want to have another silenced for having differing opinions than their own. I think about all my outspoken friends who are in positions faced to the public and of course myself and what this potentially means for all of us. This of course, would never stop me from speaking out to what’s right, so perhaps that is also why I wanted to make a comment. To me it is disgusting behaviour to mock/be happy about the death of people you disagree with that have done nothing wrong. I think about all my friends, family who could be wrongfully persecuted based off the delusions of perceived “sides”. The amount of hate manufactured and projected onto you for just living your life and not complying to a certain ideal is insane. I don’t like fear mongering but I also think it’s important to stay vigilant to what’s going on around you. It is a very real reality that there are people out there that hate you just for simply being you and what you represent to them. We’ve seen evidence of this twice this week and I suspect more to come unfortunately. I am always hopeful so I will leave this message on a positive note, that just as much hate has also been met with just as much love. There are many amazing kind hearted people out there standing up for what’s right and building community, coming together. Even if they are moving in silence behind the scenes or in front stage, I see you and I honour your work.show more

things to know about wv dms from someone who... has experience with the bubble app and had a chat with skz hyunjin for over a year: - its 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹, it’s the members themselves - for us it’s a 1:1 chat with the idol but for them it’s like a groupchat with all the people who paid - they can see and directly reply to you if they want to but there’s too many ppl so it’s hard for them to see. 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲’𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆!!! they can actually select the message they want so if they ever reply to you you’ll know for sure. - they have an option in their version of the app where they click and it automatically mentions the name you have set on the app and it looks like he’s directly addressing you but it’s the same for every fan. - theres a 1 next to the messages, if it disappears, the member is in the chat, doesn’t mean he read specifically your message, remember it’s a gc for them. - the translations are bad so it’ll look weird, you can deactivate the automatic translation on the 3 dots on the upper right. make sure you always look for translations on here (ENHYPEN WEVERSE) before you bring something to tl. finally, ai bots reply immediately, once the boys go inactive or get busy, no matter how many messages you send you won’t get a reply. stop saying it’s fake or ai, i know its weird and you guys are new to it and it seems impossible bc they’re busy but its the same as when they come to weverse and reply to a bunch of people, they have time for that. you will see some members are more active and chatty than others too. please be careful with your words, these are the members’s words. + here’s jumgwon sending a text while on live earlier:show more

Your baby thrives on predictability. Specifically, yours. This week... I’ve been talking about attachment, which holds long lasting consequences for your child’s mental and physical health (not to mention their cognitive development). Secure attachments in infancy occur when parents’ interactions with their babies are: Warm. Responsive. Safe. And consistently so. I’ve shared lots of important tips in the past. Tips on reading to your child. Tips on play. Tips on language development. But I want to be clear that attachment has nothing to do with the number of toys or books in your home. Or how well you interact most of the time. Attachment is a product of your predictability. It’s how you interact EVERY time. It’s what you teach your child to expect from you as their caregiver. Inconsistency in the way adults interact with children - warm and responsive one day and potentially cold and distracted the next - is detrimental to secure attachment. When children don’t know what to expect from day to day, it creates anxiety. And this activates the body’s stress response systems. Continually. This is one reason that it’s so important for parents to thoughtfully manage their own stress, exhaustion, safety, and mental health needs. When you aren’t at your best for yourself, you likely won’t be at your best for your baby. As an aside, consistency is also why I’ve spoken out about viral social media trends that undermine trust and predictability by inserting chaotic behaviors into the parent-child relationship. Several months ago - if you can believe it - it was unexpectedly cracking open an egg on your child’s forehead. This week it seems to be throwing slices of American cheese at/onto your baby’s head/face. (I wish I was making this up.) While it’s easy for us as to dismiss such behaviors as jokes, to young children they are detrimental for precisely the reason some adults may find them funny: they’re unexpected. But when your otherwise kind and attentive parent randomly acts with callousness - if even for a moment - it breaks a stable pattern. It provides a new data point that suggests you may be warm and caring… but also may not be dependably. And this is precisely what undermines attachment. (The good news is that an otherwise stable attachment is unlikely to be permanently disrupted by one dumb mistake. We all make them. Still… don’t. Just don’t.) Be kind, be responsive, and do it predictably. I’ll never share the kind of videos I described above. In their place, enjoy this warm and secure interaction between storyoferica (IG) and her happy little one.show more

How long should my baby use a pacifier? I... get this question a lot and it’s a tough one - both because there isn’t a single correct answer and because (like feeding and sleep) the topic brings out lots of strong opinions. But if you ask me, the family in this video has the right idea. Infants are born with a strong sucking reflex and pacifiers can help them to soothe and sleep. There’s even some evidence to suggest that sleeping with pacifiers might reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). In short: for babies (up to a year), I’m a big fan. But it’s not uncommon to see children with pacifiers well into toddlerhood, and in some cases, even beyond. And here I’d raise some important cautions. Children who rely heavily on pacifiers may be more prone to middle ear infections. And dentists note that prolonged pacifier use can affect your child’s teeth and create bite issues. Perhaps most importantly is their potential to impact expressive language development. Your child’s ability to speak is an important one. After a point, language shapes not only the content of our thinking, but the very structure of our cognition. By otherwise occupying the mouth over long periods of time, pacifiers may slow language development by limiting opportunities for expression. Speaking with a pacifier in the mouth can also lead to distortion of speech sounds (even when they aren’t in the mouth). All told, I’m an advocate for beginning to wean off of pacifiers at around a year of age - which is why this video spoke to me. We see an infant appropriately using one and big sister demonstrating her expressive language, her mouth unencumbered and free to chatter away happily. The transition can be difficult - but not nearly as challenging as for a child who has become dependent over a period of years. Do/did you use pacifiers with your child? Why or why not? How did you help transition away from their use? This sweet siblings were shared to IG by _lullabye_luxuries_.show more
