HOME COUNTRY: It’s the heat that defines us this month.

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor It’s the heat that defines us this month. It greets us at daybreak with its promise, but in an hour or so, it bears down on our shoulders and makes us dream of shade and something cold to drink. The best thing about our hot season, however, are evenings when most of the earth cools, and that breeze slides in off the mesa and caresses our cheeks. Then it’s time to sit, and laugh, and tell stories and just be with someone we love. Then is the culmination of a day we can be proud of. Inside each of us, we silently and privately applaud ourselves, because the hot day tried us, but we did it. All day. We made it through the heat today. Made it with our hands today.

How Sound Buttons Can Help Build a Routine for Kids at Home

Establishing daily routines is vital for a child’s emotional growth, time management, and independence. Consistency helps reduce anxiety and allows children to transition between tasks more smoothly, setting a strong foundation for long-term habits. Sound buttons offer a hands-on, engaging way to support these routines. By pairing audio cues with everyday tasks, parents can guide children without constant verbal reminders. This method promotes structure through repetition and fun, making daily responsibilities like getting dressed or brushing teeth easier to follow, even for children with learning or sensory challenges. Why Consistent Routines Matter for Children Routine provides children with a sense of security and predictability. Knowing what to expect reduces anxiety and allows them to transition between tasks more easily. Research shows that kids who follow consistent routines at home tend to perform better academically, sleep more soundly, and experience fewer behavioral issues.

Marc Lasry Sees Opportunity Where Others See Risk in Debt Markets

Picture Credit In volatile markets, when lenders retreat and sentiment turns cautious, certain investors lean in rather than pull back. Marc Lasry, co-founder of Avenue Capital Group, is one of them.
