“My child understands everything — but always answers in the other language.”

Sound familiar?

A child can understand a language very well and still rarely speak it.

But what does that mean?

In Thinking Across Languages #2, I explore this question through five languages & five perspectives:

🇩🇪 Experience
What are we actually observing?

🇫🇷 Nuance
Is understanding without speaking really a problem?

🇳🇱 Hierarchy
Why do we so often treat speaking as proof that a language is truly “known”?

🇮🇹 Sustainability
How can we keep a family language alive without turning it into a battle?

🇬🇧 Synthesis
What does all of this tell us about multilingual repertoires?

The answer is not simply about whether a child speaks a language.

It is also about understanding, relationships, context, opportunities, expectations and the possibilities a language has in a child's life.

🌱 Multilingualism is not a collection of levels. It is a living, changing relationship with languages.

– And: yes, I am challenging the system, by using all 5 languages in one video, the translation on youtube won't work (yet)...alas...

The more you learn about the history of women’s health, the harder it is not to get angry.

For generations, women have been left out of medical research, had their symptoms dismissed, and waited years for diagnoses. And the consequences of those gaps are still being felt today. At the #FQHealthSummit, Katie Couric spoke about what drove her to take a closer look at the history of women’s health for her new documentary, @hormonalthefilm, and the ways women have been overlooked by the medical system at nearly every stage of life.

Food noise, sugar cravings and bloating, even though you’re eating a high protein, low carb breakfast? 😩

I see this ALL THE TIME clinically.
The same total energy (calories) can have very different effects on your blood sugar and energy depending on where those calories come from 💡

Your brain runs best on glucose, which mostly comes from carbohydrates. Fat and protein keep you full, but the energy they contain is released slowly.

If your breakfast is mostly fat and protein, you can feel full but still be low on usable energy.
If you exercise first thing, or are just busy through the morning, that can leave you searching for more food, especially sweet things, even if you’ve technically had enough fuel.

This is the difference between total energy consumed and how available that energy is for your body to use.

For many people, that looks like thinking about snacks by 11am, needing something sweet after lunch or mid-afternoon, or wanting to pick at food all day.
A high protein, low carb diet is also often low in soluble fibre, or just skewed to slow transit foods, which will cause bloating, and grazing will make that worse.

Fat and protein both matter, but adding a slow-release carb like wholegrain toast, oats or potatoes gives your brain what it’s looking for, your energy levels stabilise, and cravings and food noise go quiet.

Everyone’s needs are a little different, but if these issues feel constant even though you’re eating well, this simple change to breakfast can make a real difference.

Neighbors, this is some disturbing family drama! A mother and daughter are going viral after revealing that their relationship with their grandmother and mother allegedly became so toxic that they found themselves praying for her death. The two women claim they endured years of mistreatment and even admitted to allegedly trying to poison her on multiple occasions.
__________
During the emotional conversation, one of the women compared their suffering to slavery, saying, “I felt like a slave just praying for my slave master to die.” The daughter also described her grandmother as evil, explaining how the alleged mistreatment affected both her and her mother.
__________
The shocking video left commenters with questions about just how bad things must have gotten for two generations of women to reach such a dark place. While their allegations have not been verified, the interview offers a disturbing look into a family relationship filled with resentment, pain, and alleged abuse.

Thoughts?
