Strict mothers help children succeed academically but hinder emotional intelligence
Strict mothers help children succeed academically but slow the development of their emotional intelligence. Research findings showed that about 49% of Chinese mothers fit the "tiger mom" model. Children of such women generally performed better on cognitive tests but showed poorer results than peers in personality trait assessments. Researchers speculate that "tiger cubs" do not excel in non-cognitive tests due to a lack of sufficient leisure time.

Scientists Create Dental Floss for Measuring Stress Levels
Scientists have created dental floss for the rapid measurement of stress levels. Researchers from Tufts University (USA) have developed dental floss that can determine the cortisol levels in a human body - a saliva sample is enough for this. The saliva is drawn through a barely noticeable channel in the floss, then enters the handle and tongue. The sample is then distributed across electrodes, which determine the cortisol level. Scientists clarified that the dental floss shows high accuracy in measurements, but tracking markers alone is insufficient for the initial diagnosis of diseases.

Horoscope for May 28
♑️ Capricorn: A call from someone you haven’t spoken to in a long time is likely. Think about why he has reappeared in your life now. Perhaps he has more serious intentions than just simple, albeit pleasant, communication. ♒️ Aquarius: Inappropriate remarks that an old friend might make towards you are likely to lead to a fatal, separation-prone conflict.

Otherwise, you will deplete all the energy allocated to you by the stars for this day in a very short time and become exhausted much sooner than you would like. ♉️ Taurus: It is not worth defending your independence from a loved one with all your might. Sometimes, to strengthen and refresh a relationship, it doesn't hurt to appear weak and in need of protection in their eyes. ♊️ Gemini: You need to make a tough decision and exclude unpleasant people from your social circle. The negative energy you receive constantly spoils your mood, which negatively affects your life as a whole.
