"Our hope is that they realize that if they can't afford it, that they deserve it. These children deserve to have the best of everything," said Kandee Rochelle Lewis, CEO of Positive Results Center.

Vulin explained, 'We were walking home on Santa Monica Boulevard. There were four guys - three of them had cameras and one of them had a suit on and a mic. They said they were from CNN and wanted to talk to us about our baby.'

"I started hearing the themes inside [Punjabi] music - pride in language, resilience, and history, which helps to reconnect with my identity," Multani said.

If tentative agreements are not reached, workers are set to strike on Tuesday, and the district will not be able to open schools without them.

Hospitals cannot legally refuse to treat a patient because of who they are. The decision to stop providing gender-affirming care is unconscionable and discriminatory against transgender patients.

Southern California, especially Los Angeles, has many breathtaking botanical gardens and wildflower-lined hiking trails. But it's also exciting to visit private home gardens that are rarely open to the public and find inspiration even if you don't have space for a garden at home.

Cathy, I understand your pain. Driving 80 miles can feel like an odyssey, especially in SoCal. Thankfully, there are loads of fun places where your family can meet in the middle (or close to it). I've rounded up some solid options. By the way, the driving times mentioned here are a rough estimate for a weekend day without traffic, but as you probably know, your actual time may vary.

"Looking at each goal in isolation can lead to gaps in planning. For example, a couple might build two budgets that each seem manageable individually, but don't reflect what happens when both sets of costs hit at the same time."

I left London for Australia at 22, not long after my mom died. I'd spent the final year of her life as her full-time caregiver as she battled with cancer. When she was gone, I needed to escape my hometown. I'll never forget my friend seeing me off, excitedly saying, 'You're so lucky to move to Australia!' I forced a smile because I felt the complete opposite. I was literally running away from my grief.

When Lily Telloyan was in middle school, her household grew from two generations to four. Her grandparents and great-grandmother were getting older, so her parents moved the whole family under one roof in Lansing, Michigan. Nearly 20 years later, four generations of the family are living together again. After spending her college years in Indiana and then moving in with her husband, Alex, in Lansing, Lily started thinking about multigenerational living again.

The Trump administration's sweeping crackdown on immigrants has taken a particularly high toll on the child care industry - both for families and providers. In California, almost 40% of the workforce is foreign-born and more than a million parents - immigrant and otherwise - rely on child care providers so they can go to work.

The effort to get a snapshot of kindergarten readiness is part of the National Survey of Children's Health, which collected information from thousands of parents and guardians about their child in five areas - early learning, motor skills, social-emotional development, self-regulation and health. The goal was to answer an overall question: Is your child ready for school? Readiness in California is on par with the nation's average, which also puts kindergarten readiness at two-thirds of 3- to 5-year-olds.
