For the author's 7th birthday, they had a "Yes Day" to celebrate. Courtesy of the author I gave my daughter a "Yes Day" for her 7th birthday. The experience showed me how much kids value being trusted. Saying yes helped my daughter build confidence and independence. Parenting young kids often feels like saying no on repeat. No, not today. No, that's enough. No, maybe later. So for my daughter's 7th birthday, I decided to try something different. I decided to give her a "Yes day" and say yes to whatever request and desire she had, within resonable boundaries. I first heard about it years ago, before I became a mom. A good friend told me about an annual tradition in their home called "Kids in charge day," where her children picked the meals, the outings, and the flow of the day. At the time, I had questions. What if they ask for something unrealistic? What if it gets out of hand? She told me something I didn't fully appreciate then, but that has stayed with me ever since: kids aren't as impressed with extravagance. What they want is attention, time, and a sense that their voice matters. We introduced the idea when our daughter was 4, and it quickly became one of her favorite traditions. So this year, we made it her birthday gift, something she already loved, arriving right on time. I set boundaries, but kept them simple "Yes" doesn't mean anything goes. For us, it meant choices that were safe, local, and doable within the day. My daughter didn't need endles options. She needed the opportuity to make her own choices. The author set the boundaries for her daughter's "yes day." Courtesy of the author I let her lead, even when it was uncomforable Her first request was breakfast: a cream cheese bagel. Easy. Then came her outfit: red heart socks, faded floral print pants, and an old pink shirt. Something I would've picked out for play or painting, not a birthday outing. I almost redirected her, but stopped short. "Is that what you want to wear?" I asked. "Yes," she said, beaming. Confidence is built in moments when kids get to trust their own thinking without being corrected. The small things seemed to matter most We headed to National Harbor, just outside of D.C., where she planned to build a bear using gift cards she'd been saving. When we pulled up, I asked if I could grab a coffee before we got started. "Yes!" she shouted, delighted. That moment surprised me. She wasn't just receiving the yes. She was learning how to give it. We wandered into a Black-owned bookstore, hand in hand. She picked out a chapter book. Then, just as excitedly, she grabbed a "Gracie's Corner" book, a series she used to love as a toddler and one I was almost certain she'd outgrown. I almost said no again. Then I remembered the assignment. "Yes. And yes." I enjoyed watching what she did with the freedom At Build-A-Bear, she made thoughtful choices. She picked the birthday bear that cost as much as her age so she could spend more on accessories, instead of choosing a more expensive plush that would eat into her budget. I'm not surprised though, my girl loves to save a coin. By midday, it was "yes, yes, yes." A candy shop stop. A few treats. There was an ice cream counter inside, and after trying a few flavors, she decided on her own to wait until after lunch. No prompting. No correction. Just her own good judgment. She felt trusted in the moment and rose to the occasion. I needed to stretch my comfort too Later, she asked to ride the Capital Wheel. She was ready. I was not. Her dad had joined us by then, and they walked hand in hand toward the oversized Ferris wheel while I followed a few steps behind, snapping photos. At the ticket booth, my husband asked for three tickets. The author joined her daughter and spouse on a ferris wheel even though she's afraid of heights. Courtesy of the author "Wait, Mom, you're doing this?!" she asked. I took a breath. "Yes." She squealed. Sometimes a "Yes Day" isn't just about your child. It's about saying yes to yourself, too. To your own confidence and courage. I know my fear of heights is irrational, but in that moment it felt very real. I was, and still am, proud of myself for pushing through. She reminded me I deserve yeses too At the nail salon I typically visit solo, she was treated like royalty. Apple juice in a bejeweled glass. Chocolates at checkout. A cascade of bubbles as we left. We stopped next door at a craft store and picked up stickers and bookmarks. And then, near the end of the day, she surprised me. She asked if we could go to the makeup store to get something for me. I reminded her it was her day, not mine. "Yes, but I want to share it with you, Mama." That night, we ordered cheeseburgers and fries and sat around the table, her legs swinging as she recapped her favorite parts of the day. Proud. Confident. Already just a little bit bigger. In that moment, my friend's words came back to me. A "Yes Day" isn't about indulgence. It's about intention. It gives your child space to make decisions, feel heard, and trust their voice. The goal isn't just to say yes for a day. It's to raise kids who know how to use their voice for a lifetime. Read the original article on Business Insider

Apple's WWDC nears: Here's what you can look forward to.

The author says the World Cup became more meaningful after she became a parent. Courtesy of the author Motherhood changed my perspective on the World Cup. The six-week tournament on the global stage creates a tangible connection to heritage. It makes memories and deepens relationships between families and across oceans. It all started with a onesie, as so many parenthood journeys do. The Ipswich Town Tractor Boys gear traveled across the Atlantic before I snuck it onto my then-infant son, just before my husband arrived home. Adorable photos of the drool-covered shirt followed, sent back across the pond to Ipswich, England, the epicenter of my father-in-law's family. It was a reason to connect — one that wouldn't have happened without our family's shared love of country and capturing moments that remind us of one another. The onesie spurred a different reaction when my Belgian grandmother and father saw their pride and joy, the one and only baby wearing the colors of an English football club. "The English?! He should be wearing Red Devil red!" exclaimed my grandmother, with a delivery that bordered on genuine betrayal. Becoming a parent made me see these interactions between family members as long-lasting connections and pivotal memories, not just silly quips at a sporting event. Motherhood changed my perspective By the time of the Women's World Cup later that summer, a lighthearted rivalry had formed (Belgium didn't even qualify that year, but that didn't simmer my family's bubbling pride). My 4'5", 80-pound grandmother had outsize opinions about every decision on the pitch. The author says the World Cup will let her son experience all his heritage. Courtesy of the author Cheering my grandfather on at years of weekend games, she wielded words capable of besting anyone's strongest kick. Other countless memories help fill the multi-year gaps between tournaments, like my grandmother and father-in-law's sheepish chuckles and simultaneous "santé!" and "cheers!" as glasses chinked. Or the audible disbelief at a call that was simply unjust to everyone on the pitch. And, all the proud comments about my son's various traits as evidence of his Belgian or English heritage. In stark contrast, I can't tell you a thing about prior World Cups. I likely passively watched, enjoying the game, but not for the reasons that matter now. Multigenerational moments are fleeting I became a mom, and suddenly the moments on screen were truly part of the background; I was watching the moments in the room. Motherhood has made me keenly aware of these fleeting multi-generation interactions and how readily they slip away without intention. My dear grandmother died in 2024. I will miss her elegant outrage at the ref's calls and the players' decisions. I know my Dad will represent Belgium in this year's World Cup, complete with a click of the tongue and an exasperated sigh, unwittingly echoing my grandmother's to a tee. The author says multigenerational moments in her family are fleeting. Courtesy of the author Add in shared culture, country-themed snacks, and friendly competition, and you have cherished memories in the making. I daydream about my rambunctious toddler dashing into the yard to greet his grandfathers, surprising them in his Belgium, England, or even US kit. Jeers will be hurled based on his selection, but so will love and enthusiasm. The World Cup is a time to connect with our heritage For my children, this summer is a rare at-home immersion into the cultures that define their grandfathers and of which their great-grandmother was deeply proud. I imagine US parents living abroad may experience similar feelings on Super Bowl Sunday or during March Madness, but it can't compete with the World Cup. More than 100 games spread over six-ish weeks extends the tradition, winning it the title of my favorite sporting event — an admittedly unexpected statement for an American (who grew up watching the Super Bowl). This World Cup will ground my children in family legacy, strengthen connections in the present, and create memories and shared interests for the future. Courtesy of the author Unlike a book or photos, the stadium's palpable energy, chants and songs, and the homemade family recipes at watch parties make culture easy to grasp — no matter how small the tiny hands. My son will experience why one side of the family wears black, yellow, and red, and the other red and blue, knowing he can feel at home in each. This will be the first time my son sees Belgium and England play in the World Cup, heightening the rivalry and making the experience more tangible. The further Belgium, England, the US, (or any other team for which we have a smidgen of affinity) make it, the longer the family connections and memory-making magic — that's what I'm in it for.

Christina Nicolson's 10-year-old son started his first business with a vending machine. Courtesy of Christina Nicolson Christina Nicolson is the mother of 11-year-old Landon Nicholson. They live in Wellington, Florida. Landon approached her about starting a vending machine business over a year ago. Christina, a business owner herself, shares what it's been like so far. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Christina Nicholson, the mother of Landon Nicholson. It has been edited for length and clarity. My son, Landon, and I own a vending machine together. We started when he was 10, over a year ago. Landon got the idea for his vending machine business at one of his sister's basketball games. He was helping at the concession stand during a Wellington Wolves tournament and started noticing just how many people wanted snacks and drinks. That was the moment the lightbulb went off. First, he wanted to have a candy store, and I said, "Let's start smaller." I'm a business owner, so I was game to do it Landon has always wanted to make his own money. Maybe it's because he's seen me do it; I started my own media company right after he was born. He's always seen me be my own boss and seen the flexibility that comes with that. To start, we got a book and watched some YouTube videos to learn about it. First, we had to find a spot for it. He was taking acting lessons at our community center during the summer, and he went to the front desk and asked if they had a vending machine. They said that they used to, but didn't anymore. He said, "Do you want one? That's my business." They gave him the contact person, and we set up a meeting with the village of Wellington. We put together a proposal that included what we'd put in there and how much we would sell it for, and they okayed it. They had a contract. The agreement was that 26% of the commission would go to them, and Landon and I would split the profits 50/50. In September of 2024, we bought a vending machine for $1,500 and had it shipped for $843. We also purchased a credit card reader for $385, bought $265 worth of items from Costco, and put $17 in change in the machine to start. We're still in the hole, but have learned some important lessons The community center is not very busy. We're not splitting profits yet, but I still think it's been worthwhile. A big lesson for him was that just because you make money, it doesn't mean it's your money. For example, the first time we went to the vending machine to get money, he was so excited to have all the dollar bills. But I told him that we had to pay the machine off, that 26% goes to the village of Wellington for letting us put our machine in there, and so on. He quickly learned the difference between revenue and profit. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Reading Books on Bookstagram (@christinaallday) He was also very excited at the beginning of this to go and check on it once a week. He liked to see what needed filling up, what people were liking, and so on. Now, he's not as excited to go. He still enjoys doing it, but that initial excitement has worn off. I'm being patient with him Sometimes, you just have to be patient. We're almost there. I encourage him to review the numbers every month; I'll print out the P&L for him to see. He's very impatient, but I remind him that to make a business work, you have to work. He's learning different business models, how much time they take, and how busy you are going to be. This has been good because of his age; he goes to the community center and checks on it once a week for 15 minutes. He also likes to see what's working. He still asks me every once in a while if he's making money yet. I wasn't expecting his confidence. It really impressed me. He walked right up to the community center's front desk, asked if they wanted a vending machine, and came home with a business card. I love that he's not afraid. I think this experience will help him with the confidence to start more businesses. Read the original article on Business Insider

We had a great time on our recent European trip, but learned a few lessons we'll keep in mind next time. Chrissy Callahan I traveled to the UK, the Netherlands, and France during my recent European vacation. I planned a packed itinerary, and was pleasantly surprised that I fit so much into eight days. That said, I wish I'd booked our hotels sooner and done research into customs and security. Ever since my first trip to France at 18, I've been enamored with Europe. Don't get me wrong, I love exploring the US, but there's something about leaving the country that helps me dive into vacation mode quickly, since I'm an ocean away from life's daily stressors. After the COVID-19 pandemic, I started feeling a familiar itch to travel abroad, so we visited France together two years ago. The following year, we upped the ante and headed to two countries: France and Italy. When it came time to plan our annual vacation this year, I proposed our most ambitious one yet — three European countries in eight days with a travel day tacked onto both ends — then mapped out a whirlwind itinerary that included two full days in London and two and a half days in both Amsterdam and Paris. It was an adventure of a lifetime, and we packed so much into a short period of time. Still, I made a few mistakes and learned several important lessons along the way. I didn't do enough research on security and customs protocol I could've gotten to Paris more quickly if I'd done a bit more research. Chrissy Callahan When we traveled from London to Amsterdam on the Eurostar train, it took an hour to get through airport-level security and customs. Since I anticipated a similar experience traveling from Amsterdam to Paris, we arrived at the train station extra early, but there was no security checkpoint. This minor mistake only cost us an hour of wasted time, but I regretted it. I could've hopped on an earlier train to Paris had I known that traveling from one EU country to another is a lot easier than entering the European Union from the United Kingdom. With a tight itinerary, minutes and hours matter, so I learned to pay more attention to security requirements during the planning stage. I waited too long to book one of my hotels We loved Amsterdam, but ended up staying farther from the city center than we would have liked to. Chrissy Callahan When looking into Amsterdam hotels, I found one in the city center, right near the main train station. I usually book things well in advance, but this time, I took a gamble and waited to see if the prices would drop. By the time I went to book my preferred hotel, no rooms were available for my travel dates. As it turns out, there were a few big events in town that week, so rooms filled up quickly. I've had luck finding last-minute deals on Booking.com before, so I took a look and booked another hotel that was a quick train ride away from the city center. Everything worked out, but the experience taught me to always research whether there are major events going on in a city when you're traveling. After all, you can always book the hotel when you see it, then cancel the reservation and rebook it if prices drop. I learned you can't see everything in one trip, and you don't have to We visited the Heineken Experience in honor of my dad, who loved the beer. Chrissy Callahan When you only have a few days in a city, you're forced to home in on the must-see items on your bucket list rather than seeing every major tourist attraction. For instance, my husband and I aren't into art, so we usually skip art museums and seek out cool architecture, beautiful gardens, and meaningful experiences. When we first started charting our own course on vacation rather than letting the fear of missing out guide us, we worried that we might regret seeing some of the major sights. But we quickly realized that it's freeing to pick and choose the activities that matter most to you. In Amsterdam, we could've seen the Anne Frank House since it's a popular tourist spot. Instead, we spent an afternoon at the Heineken Experience in honor of my late father, who adored Heineken. I don't drink beer, but it was still incredibly rewarding to enjoy an experience that he never got to have himself. Walking is often the best way to see a city — but don't be a hero London was lovely, but the weather was rainier and windier than we'd expected. Chrissy Callahan Whenever I travel, I prefer to see new cities on foot rather than spending time (and money) on public transportation. Since we only had two days in London, my husband and I took the scenic route to Kensington Palace and walked an hour from our hotel. On a nice day, it would've been a lovely walk through a gorgeous park, but London's weather is unpredictable. It ended up being rainier and windier than we'd expected, making the stroll pretty miserable. Sure, we could've popped into the nearest train station, but the intermittent rain lulled us into a false sense of security. Next time, I'll hop on a train instead, even if it means missing out on seeing a pretty park. Read the original article on Business Insider

Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" debuts in theaters on July 17. Universal Pictures Movie theaters are on a comeback tour. Gen Z and millennials are driving ticket sales, seeing an average of seven films a year. AMC's CEO said "The Odyssey" had the highest first-day ticket sales of any studio release since 2022. Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" is already breaking records, and it hasn't hit theaters yet. In an X post on Friday, AMC CEO Adam Aron said "The Odyssey" recorded the company's "highest first-day ticket sales for any studio-released movie title since 2022." "My apologies if you encountered a long ticketing line on the AMC web site and app yesterday," Aron said. "The Odyssey," based on Homer's Greek epic poem, has seen worldwide excitement since Universal Pictures announced the film adaptation in late 2024. The film's trailer raked in over 120 million views in its first 24 hours, in part due to the star-studded cast. Matt Damon helms the film as Odysseus, while fans can also expect to see Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattison, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, Lupita Nyong'o, and more. "The Odyssey" comes three years after Nolan struck cinematic gold with "Oppenheimer," which won seven Academy Awards and became a pop culture phenomenon alongside Greta Gerwig's "Barbie." "The Odyssey" debuts on July 17, but the build-up around ticket sales has been long in the making. In an unusual decision, IMAX announced that it would sell tickets for select screens and showtimes a year in advance. Fans who missed the first ticket drop had another opportunity on Thursday with advanced tickets for premium large-format showtimes. Largest Screens On Sale Tomorrow at 9am PT / 12pm ET. Experience The Odyssey shot entirely with IMAX film cameras in theaters 07.17.26. pic.twitter.com/9c7Bqxxi95 — The Odyssey Movie (@odysseymovie) June 3, 2026 On X, Aron said the only AMC releases to outpace "The Odyssey" were driven by two musical juggernauts: Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. "Ironically, the only first-day AMC ticket sales results since 2022 that topped The Odyssey were for our very own music-oriented projects from our own AMC Theatres Distribution, namely first-day ticket sales for the Renaissance concert film from Beyonce in 2023 and our two Taylor Swift efforts in 2023 and again in 2025," Aron said. Although the COVID-19 pandemic and the streaming revolution dealt a harsh blow to movie theater attendance, it's on the rebound. A Fandango report published in April said Gen Zers and millennials were driving momentum at movie theaters, spending more money and time compared to other generations. The report said a good slate of films in 2025, the desire for out-of-the-home experiences, and social opportunities drove Gen Zers toward the movies. Both Gen Z and millennials saw an average of seven films in 2025. "For Gen Z, it is a form of social gathering. For Millennials, it is an escape from daily routine," the report said. AMC has seen the boost firsthand. On Monday, the company said more than 25 million people attended its theaters in May, marking the highest May attendance since 2019. "These immensely satisfying results reflect the strength of a diverse film slate, one that was driven both by established blockbusters with their well-known characters along with entirely new IP," Aron said in a press release. "This current measure of success, combined with the many compelling movies coming to our screens in the weeks and months ahead, gives us great confidence as we look to the rest of 2026."

President Donald Trump said he's discussing deals "where the American people can benefit from the success of AI."

The median income in the US is about $83,000, but some states clear that number by a lot. AerialPerspective Images/Getty Images WalletHub ranked states where people have the highest income, using several different measurements. Some states with mega-high earners didn't rank high due their fairly average median incomes. California landed outside of the top 10 as many high earners are leaving the state. The median income in the US is about $83,000 — and you could make more or less than that number depending on where you live. But which states are the highest earning overall? A new WalletHub study used three income-related measures to rank states: the average annual income of the top 5%, the average annual income of the bottom 20%, and the median annual household income of the state's entire population. The resulting rankings include some surprises. None of the states known for being home to billionaires, like New York, California, and Florida, took the top spot. WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said New York's income disparity is a reason it came up just short of the No. 1 ranking. While the top 5% makes a lot, the state's middle class isn't making nearly as much. "In terms of just the median annual income, which I think is what most people are interested in as far as that's a reflection of the middle class, New York is a little above average in terms of its median annual income at $96,000," Lupo told Business Insider. One state that barely cracked the top 15 is California; a state known for movie stars and moguls. Lupo posited that the Golden State's lower ranking on the list may have been impacted by several top earners leaving. "What's going on in California also is the number of high-wealth individuals that are fleeing the state," Lupo said. "A lot of wealth is moving out of the state and into more tax-friendly states like Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. So that's a huge driver."
