Kids can set their expectations pretty high when it comes to Christmas presents. One father says his 10-year-old daughter’s wish list included an iPhone 11, AirPods, MacBook Air, and ,000 cash. To avoid going broke or disappointing your kids, parenting experts say it’s important to manage children’s expectations before the holidays roll around. “If you have an entire list of big-ticket items, it might be clues that it’s time to have a conversation about budgeting and about the value of money right and maybe start implementing some chores,” said certified parenting coach Carrington Cunnington. Cunnington says gift lists are a great tool especially for distant relatives, but children can be encouraged to think about more than just what they want.“I suggest my kids think about how could this exchange bring you and the person who you're exchanging with, how could it bring you closer together,” said Cunnington. Cunnington says it's also good to encourage your child to be a gift giver from an early age. Also, get them thinking about incorporating experiences instead of just items.“More people will remember special experiences than they will remember what was under the tree when they were 6 or 8 or 10 years old,” said Cunnington. Another approach suggested by a parenting support group is Want-Need-Wear-Read. Each kid gets one thing they want, one thing they need, something to wear and something to read. 1433

It’s a call you hope your child never has to make, but one day they may have to. Can your child make a 911 call on a smartphone?WTMJ television station in Wisconsin asked parents in the Milwaukee area that very question.“She can go on Netflix and YouTube. Not to call 911, but she knows other things, so that would be something that I could look into doing,” said Mareza Landeros, who has a 2-year-old daughter.“I think kids should know that. I’m not sure if his age would be right because he might just call it just because,” said another mother of a toddler, Jaimie Hull.Kinnyetta Patterson with Milwaukee County’s Office of Emergency Management shows us how simple it is to make an emergency call on a smartphone. You don’t have to know a phone’s passcode.Demonstrating with an iPhone first, Patterson pressed the home button twice. At the bottom left of the screen, the word, “Emergency” pops up. Hit that, she said, and hit it once again to make a call to 911. She showed us with an Android, and for that you need to swipe the screen.Once patched through to the call center, Patterson explained technology only helps pinpoint a broad area. Dispatchers need your address, something parents need to teach their kids.“If you ever have to call 911, it's okay, talk to them, give them your address, give them your name,” said Patterson.Do you think there's a good age where you should be teaching children how to call 911?” Consumer Investigator Kristin Byrne asked Patterson.“I think it all depends on the child. We started with my daughter at two. Some people think two is too young but a 2-year-old can make a phone call,” Patterson said. 1653

Illinois is now the 11th state in the United States to legalize the purchase and possession of recreational marijuana.Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill Tuesday that allows adults 21 and over in the state to buy and possess small amounts of the drug.Adults will be able to purchase and possess 30 grams of cannabis, five grams of cannabis concentrate, and cannbis-infused products containing no more than 500 milligrams of THC. Nonresidents will be able to purchase half of each of those amounts.Under the law, medical patients would be permitted to buy marijuana seeds and grow up to five plants at home, so long as the plants are kept out of public view.Employers can still enforce a zero-tolerance or drug free workplace.The 747

Kevin Tsujihara, the head of WarnerMedia's movie and television studio, is leaving the company amid an investigation into allegations about an improper relationship with an actress.There is no immediate word about his successor.John Stankey, the CEO of WarnerMedia, said Monday that "it is in the best interest of WarnerMedia, Warner Bros., our employees and our partners for Kevin to step down as Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Kevin has contributed greatly to the studio's success over the past 25 years and for that we thank him. Kevin acknowledges that his mistakes are inconsistent with the Company's leadership expectations and could impact the Company's ability to execute going forward."Earlier this month Tsujihara was given additional responsibilities and a new title, chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Entertainment, amid a broader reorganization of WarnerMedia, which also owns CNN.Days later, 919

KANSAS CITY — Maureen Boesen has always known cancer risk was high in her family."We're able to really track our history of breast cancer back to the late 1800s and early 1900s," Boesen said. "My grandmother actually passed away from ovarian cancer when she was 44. She had five sisters and none of them lived to the age of 50. Then, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 32. We knew there was something going on and that it was a very young age."When Boesen and her two sisters were ages 3, 5 and 7, their mom was already receiving chemotherapy for stage 2 breast cancer. Because of the extensive family history, the girls were part of a study at a university in another part of the Midwest. Their mom was hoping to help the world better understand what was killing so many women. She was hoping to better her daughters' chances for survival."We were all tested in the same exact room," said Boesen's sister, Bridget Stillwell. "I can even remember what the room looked like." Because the girls were so young, and the health threat still likely years away, they wouldn't receive their DNA test results until they turned 18."We knew we were part of a study," Boesen said. "We knew our results were waiting for us, but we didn't know what they were."When asked if she found that wait frustrating, she said emphatically it was not."Quite the opposite. We felt empowered," she said.She didn't get the results right away. The sisters knew there was nothing they could likely do at age 18 even if their test results showed they'd inherited the BRCA gene mutation. The sisters all waited until they were around age 21. One sister was positive. One sister was negative. Boesen remembers meeting with the researcher to learn her results."We sat down and we had a conversation about what BRCA was and what it meant for my family," Boesen said. "It was a lengthy conversation, which made me very uncomfortable because why would a conversation that wasn't going to change my life last that long?"Eventually, the researcher told her she had inherited the gene mutation."It was just devastating because I knew what breast cancer and ovarian cancer can do to a family. You know, my first question out of my mouth was, 'Is there any chance this could be wrong?' The researcher said 'No.' "Boesen walked out of that meeting determined. She was going to make decisions to save her own life. She was going to have a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy. She would schedule a surgery to remove both breasts to prevent breast cancer."This was me doing what I was supposed to do and this was me being empowered and me being proactive and not waiting until I have a cancer diagnosis," Boesen said.She didn't want to feel like a ticking time bomb. She wanted to live.Boesen had the surgery to remove both breasts when she was just 23 years old. She went on to get married and have three children."I didn't get to breastfeed them. It was sad. I'm not brokenhearted or devastated about it, but it is sad to think I couldn't provide for my children like that," she said.At the time, she still believed she'd made the right decision because she was healthy.Once done having children, she knew there was another step that most people with the dangerous BRCA gene mutation have to consider."I knew that when I was done having children, I needed to have a complete hysterectomy," Boesen said.The BRCA gene mutation not only dramatically increases a woman's chance of developing breast cancer at a young age, it also significantly increases a woman's chance of ovarian cancer."The right thing to do and what the doctors say to do is have a complete hysterectomy by the age of 35 and I was in my early 30s," Boesen said.In 2018, she went to a hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, to start the process of preparing for her hysterectomy. Both her health care provider and her insurance company wanted a new DNA test. Everyone knew what the results would be, but they went through the motions to get the required confirmation she was positive for the deadly gene mutation which was so rampant in her family.The test results were supposed to be back in a few weeks, but it had been four and Boesen was starting to worry. Then, she got the call from the doctor."I was at work. And the first thing she said was, 'We need to talk', and my heart just sank," Boesen said. "She said, 'You're negative,' and I just started bawling."She was overwhelmed, confused and full of emotions."I was angry. I was regretful. I was happy. I was sad. I so desperately wanted to feel relief, 'Oh, thank God, this is the best day of my life,' but it wasn't," Boesen said. "It was just devastating."Boesen got another test to confirm the second test results. It also came back negative.She did not get the hysterectomy. There was no need now. There was no longer a threat that cancer was waiting to explode in her body. She now knew she had not inherited the BRCA gene mutation that had killed so many of her relatives.Dr. Jennifer Klemp of the University of Kansas Cancer Center has worked in the field of cancer genetics, specifically breast and female cancers, since 1997. She is the director of Cancer Survivorship and a cancer risk counselor. While she was not involved in Boesen's original research, she says she's not surprised."Twenty years ago, when we sent our first tests and BRCA 1 and 2 were the two genes we tested for, about 30-40 percent of the time we would get something called a 'variant of uncertain significance,' " Klemp said. "Basically, that meant we found a mutation or an error in the DNA, but we didn't know if that was associated with an increased risk of cancer. Today, using a reputable lab, that should be less than 1-2 percent."Klemp says things are changing rapidly in the field of genetic testing. If someone had a DNA test more than five years ago, they should consider having an updated test. She also says the at-home tests are good for finding out details about your ancestry, but they shouldn't be used to make major decisions about your health. For that, you'd want a health professional to order a commercial test through a certified, reputable lab. With more and more companies offering testing, and more medical professionals and patients interested in genetic testing for so many reasons, she says demand right now is outpacing supply."If you have 10 different labs doing testing, and you have every primary care, OB-GYN, oncology clinic, surgical clinic and any number of patients eligible for testing, it's a little bit of the wild west," Klemp said, adding there's no central repository for this patient and test information.As for Boesen, the university where the original research was done and the false positive originated offered to re-test her DNA. She is currently waiting on the results from what is now her fourth genetic test. She hopes it comes back negative, too, which is what the experts all expect. She believes, then, finally, she'll be able to move forward with her life. Boesen and her two sisters are writing a book about their experiences. Each of her sisters has a story to tell, too. Their book will be titled, " 7146
