Learning the language of a new city
Imagine you're six, and you're saying goodbye to your friends, your favorite playground, and the apartment where you know every corner. Suddenly, you're in a huge new city.
You’d think this kind of change is harmful for children. And in many ways, it is – it may cause stress, anxiety, and social struggles because children lose the routines and relationships that once made them fe…

Once upon a screen
Kids spend more and more of their time watching YouTube and playing on the phone – and it’s not a bad thing. Not in itself. The problem is that it leaves them less time to draw, build things, play with others – the very activities through which they develop.
But is it really so? After all, the characters kids see in cartoons or video games may become part of their play – or kids who love the same…

How often do you hear kids ask "Will you play with me?"?
Many children have their schedules packed, others spend their time on phone games. One thing is true for most of them: children miss out on play – one of the main ways they make sense of the world.
Research found one factor, however, makes a difference: how parents see play.
Parents who believe that play is important for a child's development naturally play …

You can’t pour from an empty cup – but you can refill it
Two children on the first day of school: one can't wait to raise their hand, the other hopes no one notices them. Most likely, their skills are on the same level, but their self-esteem is not.
Research says that for children aged 8–12 – when their attitude towards themselves mostly forms – one of the strongest influences on self-esteem is how their parents gu…

A minister goes to jail for taking massive bribes.
We hear stories like this all the time. But what drives people down the path of corruption?
Of course, it depends on many things: personal values and morals, income inequality, the quality of institutions, how competitive the economy is, and many more.
Yet researchers have identified another, less obvious factor: anxiety. The more people worry about their own prob…

The Dark Side of the Personality
Why are some people ready to use others for their own benefit, while others go out of their way to help and support those around them?
It's a philosophical question. But a group of researchers approached it from a psychological perspective – they looked at how our darkest sides are connected to our values and beliefs. And they found some interesting patterns.
People who are comfort…

Will AI take my job? Should I leave a secure job to pursue something I truly enjoy? Should I have a child if I still don’t own an apartment?
We all live in uncertainty, with no clear playbook and no way to predict what comes next, feeling anxious about the choices we make. Yet there’re several things that can make decision-making much easier – as found by research among managers.
1️⃣Low anxiety or frustration. Ou…

Imagine hearing comments about your looks all the time and being reminded that every extra kilogram matters.
That's the daily routine of many athletes – female rhythmic gymnasts in particular. Their weight is monitored by coaches, parents, fellow athletes, journalists… It can create a gap between how they see themselves and the body standards they are expected to meet – thus, lower self-esteem and heightened sensiti…

When students have to solve an assignment in groups, some classrooms get loud with discussions, others fall silent waiting for someone to take charge, while in others students barely interact, each trying to find their own solution.
Research says whether kids can work together very much depends on how exactly they’ve been taught.
The Elkonin–Davydov system is based on group work – so it’s only natural that kids tau…

Children who took music classes became much better at understanding emotions than those who did not – as found in a recent paper.
Imagine a child learning to sing: to bring out the right mood for “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”, the teacher might ask them to imagine the night sky, the stars glowing, the calm and wonder of the scene…
Emotions are deeply woven into music, and songs are never performed mechanically. A…

Monday blues?
We tend to think that Mondays are the hardest days. But is that really so?
Research found that during a 5/2 work week, Monday, Tuesday, and Friday are actually the days when we’re more likely to feel calm, focused and interested.
Yet at the same time Monday often comes with low-energy: fatigue, apathy. Friday isn’t as carefree either: it’s one of the most emotionally overloaded days – anxiety peaks, …

A student struggles to make sense of a paragraph – the words blur together, and by the time they get through it, the class has already moved on. Dyslexia is just one example of why some children may need extra support in the classroom. But are teachers ready to create an environment that sees each student with their strengths and challenges?
Research shows that the key factor is emotional awareness – the ability to …

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
