Give your little one a great night of rest by playing baby white noise for sleeping at bedtime tonight! When you play white noise to sleep, the consistent hum can ease your child's mind and allow them to feel more comfortable. Sleep white noise is a great alternative to sleep music for infants because it can mask outside sounds that wake them up at night. It can be stressful for the whole family when your newborn can't fall asleep, so play white noise for babies and your whole household can finally get some rest! While playing white noise for babies, it's important to keep tabs on the volume, because any white noise machine, smartphone, or computer can put out levels that are too loud for your child. It's recommended to play the sound at least a few feet from where your infant is sleeping and to keep the volume no louder than the sound of a soft shower. Parents can download an app to turn their smartphone into a sound level meter. One good, free, option is the sound level meter app created by the U.S. National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) available on the app store as the NIOSH SLM app.At Relaxing White Noise, our goal is to help you sleep well. This episode is twelve hours long with no advertisements in the middle, so you can use it as a sleeping sound throughout the night. Listening to our white noise sounds via the podcast gives you the freedom to lock your phone at night, keeping your bedroom dark as you fall asleep. It also allows you to switch between apps while studying or working with no interruption in the ambient sound.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Us for Partnership Inquiries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Relaxing White Noise is the number one destination on YouTube for white noise and nature sounds to help you sleep, study or soothe a baby. With more than a billion views across YouTube and other platforms, we are excited to now share our popular ambient tracks on the Relaxing White Noise podcast. People use white noise for sleeping, focus, sound masking or relaxation. We couldn't be happier to help folks live better lives. This podcast has the sound for you whether you use white noise for studying, to soothe a colicky baby, to fall asleep or for simply enjoying a peaceful moment. No need to buy a white noise machine when you can listen to these sounds for free. Cheers to living your best life!DISCLAIMER: Remember that loud sounds can potentially damage your hearing. When playing one of our ambiences, if you cannot have a conversation over the sound without raising your voice, the sound may be too loud for your ears. Please do not place speakers right next to a baby's ears. If you have difficulty hearing or hear ringing in your ears, please immediately discontinue listening to the white noise sounds and consult an audiologist or your physician. The sounds provided by Relaxing White Noise are for entertainment purposes only and are not a treatment for sleep disorders or tinnitus. If you have significant difficulty sleeping on a regular basis, experience fitful/restless sleep, or feel tired during the day, please consult your physician.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Relaxing White Noise Privacy Policy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠© Relaxing White Noise LLC, 2026.

They discuss building capability through honesty, responsibility, hard work, and allowing kids to experience the consequences of their choices rather than constantly stepping in to fix things. They also offer encouragement for navigating sibling conflict, treating children fairly without treating them exactly the same, launching young adults, and trusting that strained sibling relationships can grow stronger over time.

Prosecutors continued to present evidence to a California judge on Wednesday why singer D4vd should face a jury of his peers for the alleged murder and dismemberment of his underaged girlfriend Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Two LAPD criminalists were called to the stand to go over the evidence they uncovered at the singer’s Hollywood Hills home and inside the Tesla where Celeste’s decomposing remains were found by police. Investigators found blood throughout the garage and in his Tesla along with at least 11 air fresheners used to try and cover up the strong odor of decay. We also heard from Celeste’s family attorney who explained the reason why her parents chose to leave the courtroom midway through the hearing….

After eight months of maternity leave in Iceland, I’m finally back to work. Looking back, I can honestly say that this experience has given me an entirely new appreciation for Iceland’s parental leave system. Before becoming a mom, I had so many questions. Would I qualify since I own my own business? How would my payments be calculated? How much time would I actually get with Eva? And what would maternity leave even feel like? In this episode/blog, I’m sharing both how parental leave works in Iceland and my personal experience navigating it as a first-time mom. https://youtu.be/BzbZjLI2-xo How Parental Leave Works in Iceland One of the things I love most about Iceland’s parental leave system is that it’s designed for both parents. Each parent is entitled to six months of parental leave, giving families a total of twelve months together. Parents also have the option to transfer up to six weeks of their leave to one another, while still encouraging both parents to spend meaningful time bonding with their child. Another aspect I really appreciate is the flexibility. Parents can spread their leave out and use it until the child turns two years old. In our family, I decided to take my leave all at once, while Halli took the first three months immediately after Eva was born. He still has additional leave remaining that he plans to use before she turns two. For me, this flexibility is one of the strongest parts of Iceland’s system because every family’s needs are different. My Experience Taking Leave as a Self-Employed Business Owner One of my biggest concerns before having Eva was whether I would qualify for parental leave since I own my own company. Even though I’m the only employee at All Things Iceland, I still pay all of the required employer contributions, including payments into Iceland’s parental leave fund, known as the Fæðingarorlofssjóður. One important difference for self-employed people is how parental leave payments are calculated. Instead of looking at recent monthly wages like traditional employees, self-employed parents have their payments calculated using their average income from the previous tax year. It was fascinating learning how that process worked, and thankfully everything went smoothly for me. Even so, it made me realize how important it is for self-employed people to understand these rules before planning parental leave. Why I Chose Eight Months Instead of Six Although I technically had six months of paid leave, I decided to spread those payments across eight months. That meant receiving smaller monthly payments while allowing me to stay home with Eva for longer. For me, six months simply didn’t feel like enough. Maybe it was because I wanted to experience more of Iceland’s brighter spring and summer months with her, or maybe I simply wasn’t ready to jump back into work. Whatever the reason, I’m incredibly grateful that Iceland gave me the flexibility to make that decision. Understanding the Parental Leave Payments in Iceland Parental leave in Iceland isn’t intended to fully replace a person’s salary. Instead, the goal is to provide financial support so parents can spend meaningful time with their child during those first months. One thing that surprised me was seeing how taxes and pension contributions affected my monthly payments. While the payment calculations were straightforward, it reminded me that the advertised amount is before taxes are deducted. Overall, though, I appreciated having financial support while focusing on recovery and motherhood. Applying for Parental Leave in Iceland One thing that pleasantly surprised me was how straightforward the application process was. Everything is completed online through Ísland.is, making the system relatively simple to navigate. Since I work for myself, I also involved my accountant to make sure all of my paperwork was submitted correctly. I decided to begin my maternity leave before Eva’s due date so I could prepare our home, finish work projects, and mentally transition into motherhood. Looking back, giving myself that extra time before she arrived was one of the best decisions I made. What 8 Months of Maternity Leave Was Really Like Before Eva was born, I honestly had no idea what maternity leave would feel like. The beginning of my leave was a combination of overwhelming joy and genuine struggle. After an emergency C-section, recovering physically while learning how to care for a newborn was incredibly challenging. I had also gained more than 60 pounds during pregnancy, so my body had a lot of healing to do. One of the greatest blessings during those early months was having my mom come to Iceland to live with us for Eva’s first three months. She cooked, cleaned, did laundry, and helped care for all of us. Looking back, I don’t know what we would have done without her. Having Halli home during those first months made an enormous difference as well. Those early weeks together as a family are memories I’ll always treasure. Recovery doesn’t happen overnight. Learning how to become a parent doesn’t happen overnight either. That’s why I believe parental leave is so incredibly valuable. Returning to Work in Iceland After Eight Months of Maternity Leave Although my maternity leave has officially ended, life certainly hasn’t returned to what it looked like before becoming a mom. Eva is still home with me, and I’ve built a hybrid work schedule that allows me to continue running All Things Iceland while spending quality time with her. A babysitter helps a few hours each day while I work from home, allowing me to continue creating videos, recording podcasts, consulting with travelers, and developing resources for people planning trips to Iceland. Some days everything works beautifully. Other days, absolutely nothing goes according to plan. I’ve learned that motherhood is constantly changing, and just when I think I’ve figured everything out, Eva reaches another milestone and we’re adapting all over again. My Biggest Takeaway Looking back, these eight months went by much faster than I ever imagined. Before becoming a mom, eight months sounded like a really long time. Now it feels like it passed in the blink of an eye. I’m deeply grateful that Iceland gave me the opportunity to spend this time healing, bonding with Eva, and gradually finding my footing as a new parent. No parental leave system is perfect, but I genuinely appreciate that Iceland recognizes the importance of giving families meaningful time together during such an important chapter of life. Random Fact of the Episode Did you know that Iceland is consistently ranked among the world’s most family-friendly countries? UNICEF has recognized Iceland as one of the top countries for family-friendly policies thanks to its generous paid parental leave and support for working parents. Icelandic Word of the Episode Fæðingarorlofssjóður (Parental Leave Fund) This is the government fund that pays parental leave benefits in Iceland. As someone who owns my own business, my company contributes to this fund just like other employers do, which is why I was eligible for parental leave as a self-employed parent.

Two children under the age of 10 were left to try and get help for their family, but it was too late. This comes on the heels of another drowning tragedy in Southern Utah, as a hiking adventure turned deadly for all five family members when flash flooding swept through red rock canyons.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As parents, we naturally want to comfort, protect, and help our children. But when OCD enters the picture, some of our most loving instincts can unintentionally keep the OCD cycle going.In this episode, I walk through seven common parenting traps that quietly strengthen OCD, not because you're doing anything wrong, but because OCD is incredibly good at recruiting parents into its game.These are subtle shifts, but they can dramatically change how you respond to OCD, and how your child learns to respond to it too.Download the free PDF handout for this episode: www.natashadaniels.com/handouts⁠

Children who are so obese they're banned from their local gyms. Two and three year olds who are so used to juice and fizzy drinks they find it difficult to drink water. This is the child obesity epidemic hitting Italy. The country is often considered the spiritual home of the fabled mediterranean diet, celebrated as the secret to a long, healthy life. But Italy's children are now the second most overweight in the EU. The reasons for this change in a generation are complex and hotly disputed. Experts are putting it down to a daily diet heavy in pasta, pizza, potatoes, bread and meat proteins. Parents say their teenage children are eating a family dinner then going out to binge on fast food. Others accuse the parents themselves of overindulging their children from an early age. Italy is acting. It recently became one of the first countries in the world to formally recognise obesity as a chronic disease. Twenty five secondary schools in the Campania region of Southern Italy, including Naples, will take part in an ambitious clinical trial to try and get their pupils to eat more healthily in a bid to prevent a looming health crisis. Can Italy turn its child obesity crisis around? And what lessons does its experiment hold for other countries struggling with the same problem?

My guest is Kelli Fetter, a certified handwriting specialist and occupational therapist, and the founder of Handwriting Solutions. Kelli breaks down the neurological underpinnings of dysgraphia, how it can show up differently from child to child, and why early recognition is so important. We talk about the role of assessment, how to distinguish dysgraphia from more general handwriting difficulties, and what meaningful support can look like at home and in school.

What helps kids become confident, capable adults who thrive? According to today's guest, Dr. Randolph Schiffer, it's facing their fears in childhood, and he's just released a book to help them do that. “Bedtime Stories That Will Terrify Children” was born out of Dr. Schiffer's efforts to help his son face his leukemia journey as a child. Stories are a great way to help kids understand their fears and develop courage, says Dr. Schiffer. He believes many parents today try to shield their children from fear, anxiety and other negative emotions and that's doing their kids a disservice. Listen to Deb's conversation with Dr. Schiffer and find out why he thinks helping children face their fears benefits them, their parents, and society as a whole.Website: https://randolphbschiffer.comInstagram: @RandolphBSchifferLinkedIn: /RandolphBSchifferFacebook: RandolphBSchiffer

On reçoit cette semaine dans le podcast Wilfried Romain, chef du restaurant Lava dans le 5e arrondissement de Paris.Dans cette deuxième partie, Wilfried enchaîne les stages qui forgent sa vocation : Les Crayères à Reims, Le Louis XV à Monaco, puis un trois étoiles en Allemagne où il craque et appelle ses parents en pleurs.

Can parenting influence a child's sexuality? It's one of the most debated questions in Christian circles—and one that's often answered with extremes.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady Cone responds to the claim that "bad parenting doesn't make kids gay" and explores what Scripture, discipleship, and years of ministry reveal about family dynamics, childhood wounds, and same-sex attraction.This conversation is not about blaming parents. It's about understanding how emotional attachment, trauma, and the lies we believe can shape our hearts while remembering that every person is responsible before God and that true healing is found in Christ.If you're a parent, someone wrestling with same-sex attraction, or simply trying to think biblically about these issues, this episode is for you.In this episode:Do parents cause same-sex attraction?Can childhood trauma influence sexuality?What role do emotionally distant fathers and anxious mothers play?Why grace for parents matters.Understanding the difference between influence and blame.How Romans 1 informs discipleship and healing.Shepherding your child's heart with humility and truth.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction00:45 Responding to the Facebook claim03:17 Parents aren't to blame06:38 Family patterns that matter07:07 The role of sexual abuse09:35 Three parenting categories13:23 Romans 1 and believing lies15:31 Why ignoring root issues is dangerous18:00 Understanding the past without excusing sin20:10 Encouragement for parents22:48 Final encouragement and ministry invitationIf this conversation encouraged you, like this video, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs biblical clarity and hope.Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! Other ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations#Parenting #Discipleship #BiblicalTruth

Originally published September 2025 · One of our most requested episodesWe're bringing back one of our favorite (and most requested!) conversations from last year! Content warning: While we don't use any explicit language in this episode, the discussion centers around cussing, profanity, and the words we choose to use. Parents may want to preview the conversation before listening with younger children. We think it's helpful for kids over age 10 to listen in! Is cussing always sinful? Does the Bible actually prohibit certain words, or is it more concerned with the heart behind our speech?In this episode, Clayton, Amy, and Chris tackle a surprisingly nuanced question that many Christian families have wrestled with. Together they explore the difference between profanity, vulgarity, cursing, and coarse language while considering biblical teaching, cultural expectations, and the intentions behind our words.Rather than simply asking, "Can Christians say these words?" the conversation invites us to ask a deeper question: How can our speech reflect the character of Christ?TakeawaysNot all "bad words" are bad for the same reasons—profanity, vulgarity, and cursing each carry different meanings.Scripture is more concerned with speech that builds others up than with maintaining a list of forbidden words.Context and intent matter when evaluating the appropriateness of language.Christians are called to use words that bless rather than curse.Teaching kids about language is more effective when we explain why words carry meaning, not just which words they're not allowed to say.Replacement words may solve a habit, but they don't necessarily address the heart behind our speech.Grace and charity should shape how we respond to people whose convictions about language differ from our own.Whether you've wondered where the line is, or you've never really questioned it at all, this episode is an honest, thoughtful, and often funny conversation about language, holiness, and the power of our words.Thanks to everyone who's asked us to bring this one back—we're excited to share it again with both new listeners and longtime friends of the podcast.

Are those “small business owners” selling trinkets on Tik Tok actually real? Are those ripped gay hunks on Twitter just AI? Do people even care about the distinction between “fake” and “real” in the content they see online? In this episode we dive into the various ways people are deploying AI entities on social media: from the scammy, to the benign, to the sadistic and abusive. Travis unpacks the recent controversy over an Australian influencer who was caught using AI to promote her dubious charity as well the strange trend of videos of fake belt buckle makers. Later the boys are joined by Ej Dickson, senior culture writer at WIRED and author of One Bad Mother: In Praise of Psycho Housewives, Stage Parents, Momfluencers, and Other Women We Love to Hate. Dickson shares the perspective she's gained on reporting on influencer culture, parasocial relationships, and AI manipulation. Along the way the crew ponders whether humanity will actually have to lose a war to AI in order to get plugged into an illusory Matrix-like world or if people will walk into it willingly so long as they can interact with their favorite synthetic influencers.
