Scrap isn’t the problem – policy is
Across Europe and beyond, there is growing momentum behind export restrictions on scrap, tariffs, quotas and tighter classifications. The stated logic is appealing enough. Keep valuable materials domestic. Strengthen industry. Support decarbonisation. It sounds strategic. It sounds responsible. In practice, it risks dismantling the very system it claims to protect. Recycled metals have moved across borders for decades with remarkable efficiency. Not because of policy but because of economics.

Examining the relationship between parents’ self‐reported mindfulness and observed language use in attachment‐relevant communication
1 INTRODUCTION The style and content of spoken language conveys important information about our cognitions, emotional experiences, and social relationships (Groom & Pennebaker, 2002; Pennebaker et al., 2003). The words people use in everyday life reflect what they are thinking about, what they are paying attention to, how they are feeling, and how they are organizing and analyzing their world (Tausczik & Pennebaker, 2010).

Exploring the relationship between parent mental health and parent-child emotion reminiscing
ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This study examines how parents’ mental health symptoms, emotion regulation and mindfulness relate to parent–child reminiscing conversations about past emotional events. Fifty-four children aged 8–12 years and their parents were recruited from a child psychology clinic (n = 28) and local schools (n = 26). Dyad’s reminiscing conversations were recorded, transcribed, and coded for elaboration style, emotion content and emotion closure.
Technology as a Tool at School
How can technology further the mission of a Christian school? Digital tools are part of the landscape, so here are some observations of how they might be best used in the classroom. “It’s not that I know how to do it. It’s that I have the tools to figure it out,” Carmen Yagow says about using technology in the classroom. Carmen serves as a fourth-grade teacher at Our Savior’s Lutheran School in Springfield, Illinois, where every child has access to a Chromebook.

Your childhood memories are intricately shaped by your parents — here's what your earliest childhood memories say about you
We experience thousands of events across childhood, and yet as adults we recall only a handful. Some might be "firsts" (our first ice cream, our first day at school), or significant life events (the birth of a sibling, moving house). Others are surprisingly trivial. So, what do your earliest childhood memories say about you? Do they reflect your early skill for remembering, your interests, or your individual experiences? The answer to all three questions is yes — but this is not the whole story.

Talking Politics with Our Son When My Husband & I Don’t Agree
When the viral image of Michelle Obama embracing the former President George W. Bush hit the media, I saw something that warmed my heart. It wasn’t because I have any great love of our former Commander-in-Chief. I don’t. And it wasn’t because I saw the FLOTUS I have come to love and admire put aside obvious political differences for the camera. My heart was warmed because in that sincere moment, I saw my every day.
