During the early weeks and months of life, your infant is constantly growing and developing, and as a parent, you play a pivotal role in supporting that development. It’s important to know that expensive equipment and fancy toys are not required to foster your child’s development. Instead, go back to the basics and carry out a variety of simple, retro activities with your little one. You and your infant will have loads of fun and you’ll be fostering your child’s attachment to you, while also promoting brain development and confidence.

"True love," "The One," and "Happily Ever After" are complex things. I tend to think that the chances of two people finding each other, falling in love, and staying in love until "death due them part" is simply a miracle. Luckily, even love has a scientific basis.

Here are some science-based tips that can help you win at love... and marriage.

How does the feeling of individuality emerge? How do body sensations, emotion, and cognition interact to self-organize into the emergence of a self? For that matter, what do we mean by the term "mind?" Insights into the emergence of the mind, subjectivity and emotion can be achieved by considering neuroscience research into the mind’s operating networks: the salience, the executive, and default-mode networks.

As an infant, toddler, child, adolescent, and deep into our adulthood, we progressively leap to higher levels of adaptation to the world around us and our place within it. The family we have and build around us affects nutrition, physical activity, and attachment style. We are embedded within a particular society within a cultural context. All these factors contribute to our "self"-organization. One means by which the "self"-organizes is through the relationship between child and parent.

We live in an abundant world where there is unlimited wealth for every one of us. You’ve probably come across dozens of articles, books, even movies that talk about how to manifest money and attract wealth. Few people, however, can actually achieve it. It’s not for lack of desire, or lack of doing it correctly. It’s not even for lack of believing. Many people wholeheartedly believe that if they read or listen to the steps and follow directions they can turn their financial rut into financial bliss. But, when they can’t, they give up.

Here’s the thing if you are one of them: You’re not lacking motivation, focus or belief—what you are lacking is self-love. If I had to say what the top three best tips on how to bring in money were, this is how I would sum it up:

"Marriage problems are relationship problems; they are the result of how two people interact with one another. You may abandon a troubled marriage, but you will still bring the way you interact with others along with you." ~ Mark Gungor

It has been years since I have been close to a divorce, although I have witnessed many others from a distance over the years—mostly through the vacant expressions of the kids as they recount their new living arrangements.

Many years ago, a very famous study was done with rhesus monkeys by Harlowe & Harlowe. Surrogate mothers were created by forming the shape of a monkey out of wire. There were two types of "mothers:" one type was rigged to give the baby monkeys food, and the other had cloth over the wire but were not able to offer food.

The young monkeys were put into situations that created anxiety. The findings were that the baby monkeys sought out the cloth "mothers" rather than those who offered food during these periods, indicating a need for contact comfort.
