A couple of weeks ago, a video posted on TikTok by Paige Carter, a mother in Florida, went viral. Carter explained that she had thrown her daughter’s iPad out of the window when she had been misbehaving on the way to school, and she films herself retrieving the tablet, now with a cracked screen. The video has been watched 4.9m times, and Carter was congratulated in the comments, with one person writing “Learning Fafo at an early age: top tier parenting.” Welcome to the parenting trend that doesn’t seem to be disappearing: “Fuck around and find out.”
Researchers have linked spending more time playing video games with a boost in intelligence in children, which goes some way to contradicting the narrative that gaming is bad for young minds.
Does anybody here have any experience with the T-Mobile syncup watch 2? Any dos/donts/tips/tricks/lessons learned with regards to kids smartwatches? Please share your thoughts.
We’re expecting our first in a little over two months so I’m getting a bunch of qualified well wishes, and wanted to wish you all a great day as well! What are you doing today to celebrate?
Gopuff and candy company, Mars, have partnered to deliver free candy to homes on Oct. 31. The main link covers it somewhat like a ’news’ story, but hey! Free candy! Direct link to corporate promo: https://mmshalloweenrescuesquad.com/
I’d like to introduce my app which I have been working on for about half a year, it’s called Baby Journal and it’s an end-to-end encrypted app for tracking your baby activities, like feeding, diaper changes and so on.
A spokesperson for the company responded to CBS News, however, saying that Infinant Health is planning to continue distributing its “Evivo powder product” for consumers to buy and intends “to work with the FDA toward approval of the use of our MCT oil product in hospital settings.”
As of today, I have a 1 month old. She is amazing and I love her so much, but she’s boring! Don’t get me wrong, she’s difficult and my wife and I haven’t slept a good night in a month, but all she does is eat, sleep, and poop. There’s basically no interaction.
There’s a big protest being organized across Canada to protest SOGI being taught in schools, and I’m fed up with it. There are so many vulnerable students who need to know that what they’re experiencing is normal, and right-wing extremists are politicizing human rights and spreading manufactured controversy about children being shown pornography in schools.
As my oldest goes into pre-k, in a formal school, it’s a big transition to how we approach our family’s relationship to the teachers, administrators, and the school as an institution. It’s clear that the other parents are also in the same boat, with some unspoken undercurrent of competitiveness that I don’t personally want to participate in.
My kid (8) isnt enrolled in any summer camps, and we’ve been doing our best to keep him active and entertained both at home/outdoors. But we’re always looking for ideas for new fun stuff to do.
Our 2yo has sensitive skin, so we’ve always been really particular about drying his butt during a diaper change before putting the new diaper on, and we haven’t had much problem with diaper rash since he was only a few months old.
I’m not sure if this is the best place for this cross-post, nor do I know how many users here occupy the parent+tech-savvy/sysop intersectional space. But for anyone with a child and privacy focused, this webapp made by Rikudou_Sage might be of interest?
Our little one (18 months) started swim lessons about a month ago, so we’re learning all about swim diapers and trying to avoid an accident until we get to the pool. We’ve changed in the locker rooms and got in the habit of just putting the swim diaper on in the trunk upon arrival. With a wiggly kid, that’s just a pain but we dealt with it.
My partner and I are expecting our first in December and very excited but not quite sure of what to expect or… how to do any of it, really. What resources helped you when you were first diving into parenthood?
I am a parent (stay-at-home dad) of two boys (10 and 14 years old). Best advice that I can give is ‘attachment parenting’ and teaching/encouraging ‘emotional intelligence’. Those two were the most recommended by the top child psychologists on Earth.
