NEW: I sat down with Elizabeth Warren in her kitchen this afternoon, for her first interview since exiting the presidential race. On Sanders and Biden:

"I think I would have made a better president than either one of them, that’s why I was running!"
When I spoke with @ewarren earlier today, she was defiant at the idea that she is obligated to support either Sanders or Biden.

"Why would I owe anybody an endorsement?" she said. "Is that a question they asked everybody else who dropped out of this race?"
I asked @ewarren how running for president had changed her.

"There’s just a hundred ways that I’m smarter and tougher now," she said.

Children are afraid to make mistakes. Why? "Mum and Dad will punish me."
90% of the time, parents aren't aware of this so kids hide their fears.
Quick questions
Do you permit mistakes?
Do you encourage them when mistakes happen?

Children need encouragement to learn & succeed

1/
Positive words from parents, teachers, and mentors during difficult challenges is essential for children’s growth & development.

So, I curated: Ten Ways to Help Children Learn from Mistakes. I hope you find them helpful

-Acknowledge that you don’t expect them to be perfect.

2/
-Let them know your love is unconditional, regardless of their mistakes or lapses in judgment.

-Don’t rescue kids from their mistakes. Instead, focus on the solution.

-Provide examples of your own mistakes, the consequences, and how you learned from them.

Children require structure as they move from infant to toddler to young person. This process by which we train up a child is essentially brain washing, at least for a short time in their life.

If you do a good job, they have all the faculties to make decisions. @ScottAdamsSays
"Teaching children respect is perhaps harder than ever given that we live in an "it's all about me" world and a popular culture in which respect has fallen out of favor." bit.ly/2Mm3ooK
"But reciting the Pledge of Allegiance isn’t necessarily about jeopardizing a kid’s freedoms. It’s about teaching them respect and that sometimes you have to do things in society you don’t always want to." bit.ly/2MlQMxQ

#life THREAD. On Subtraction.

1/ It’s simple to note: One has to subtract before adding. Give up what’s bad, before thinking about adding what’s good. True for habits, food, news and everything else.
#life 2/ We live in a world with many apparent "signals”.

We’re consuming:
- More info/news/entertainment
- More food
- More social networking
- More things to-do/work...

…than prior generations. It’s making us lazy and critically, disengaged.
#life 3/ It’s unclear what the signal to noise ratio is - it’s a function of one’s own consumption habits.

And separately, we’re prone to setting additional goals too:
- Read good books
- Eat a healthy diet
- Have fewer but better friends
- Work smart

etc.

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
