| You don’t need to take responsibility for everything and everyone. |
| Towards the end of The Beatles’ illustrious but brief career, Paul McCartney wrote “Let it Be,” a song about finding peace by letting events take their natural course. It was a sentiment that seemed to mirror the feeling of resignation the band had with its imminent demise. |
| The bittersweet song has had an appeal that has lasted generations and that may be because it reflects an essential psychological concept: the locus of control. |
| “It’s about understanding where our influence ends and accepting that some things are beyond our control,” Jennifer Chappell Marsh, a marriage and family therapist, told The Huffington Post. “We can’t control others, so instead, we should focus on our own actions and responses.” |

| One definitely has more “things going for it.” |
| Dr. Jason Singh, who has all kinds of medical insights on TikTok, recently weighed in on the topic he joked was “more debatable than pineapple on pizza.” |
| That debate would be whether it’s better to shower in the morning, or at night. |
| You would think the “right answer” would be largely up to personal preference, much like which way to face while showering and whether or not to snack in the shower…two previous hot button issues online. |
| But according to Singh, there are definitive pros and cons to each option, which could settle the debate once and for all. |

| “Greatest parenting hack ever?” |
| Dad and parenting educator Jon Fogel, who goes by @wholeparent on social media, thinks he’s stumbled onto “one of the greatest parenting hack ever,” thanks to Mister Rogers. |
| In a clip posted to TikTok, Fogel explained how he had recently stumbled upon a study about the effect that “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” had on kids.” |
| “Kids who watched [the show] for whatever reason, seemed to be more patient, more calm, just more, like, emotionally attuned,” he said. |

| No, you don’t need the most expensive stuff but parents are swearing by things on this list. |
| From the moment you find out you’re expecting a baby it seems like every store you’ve ever shopped at also received the positive pregnancy results. Suddenly you’re getting emails and ads for every baby item imaginable. Your head is spinning with choices and no real idea on what you actually need, especially if this is your first baby. |
| It doesn’t take long to figure out that baby items are expensive and there are a lot of them, but which items can be left on the shelf and which ones should make its way to the registry? A group of parents answered the question, which overrated baby item they’d absolutely recommend spending the money on and some things may be a surprise. |
