After finding out about this incident, I was furious. My little girl was spoken about in very crass terms. But before I reacted, I stopped myself and thought hard. I remember the pressure for boys at this age to “outdo” each other with bravado and displays of masculinity, often at the expense of their female peers. This doesn’t excuse that behavior — not at all — but I also felt that it was early enough in their lives that a quick intervention could both teach my daughter how to protect herself, and the boys that their idiotic bluster has serious consequences....

In this episode of My Kid The, we enter his world by exploring with him this fascination for food. We have a meal cooked by Josh himself, and we meet his father Brad Reisner, who has pushed him throughout this entire journey; whilst we see the maturity of Josh’s prodigy-lifestyle as a chef, but also as a regular kid with the endless support from his parents. New episodes of “My Kid The” every Wednesday on YouTube....

Dubbed the Universal Meals Program, the initiative does away with eligibility requirements for free and reduced school meals and provides nutritionally complete meals to all students regardless of income level, zip code, or surrounding poverty levels — which were just a few of the criteria used to determine eligibility in the past. The Universal Meals Program is part of a larger spending bill aimed at education finance reform. The bill was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom last year and will be funded solely by the California Department of Education....

According to Disney the show “explores what sparks inspiration and the journey from idea to execution” at Pixar Animation Studios, with a focus on the “people, artistry, and culture” at the entity that has so far gifted moviegoers with 22 features, including The Toy Story quartet, A Bug’s Life, the Cars trilogy, WALL-E, Coco, and Onward, as well as the upcoming Soul. As far as “educational” entertainment goes, this isn’t half-bad....

Our bodies use up a basic level of energy for all sorts of things during the day, even if we’re not exercising — that’s what’s called our basal energy expenditure. Everything from breathing to pumping blood to thinking requires at least some level of energy; you quite literally cannot think on an empty stomach. But working out shifts our metabolic processes into overdrive, boosting what’s known as our activity energy expenditure....

The figures, known as Ninja Ghostbusters (nice!) fuse Egon Spengler with Donatello, Peter Venkman with Michelangelo, Winston Zeddemore with Raphael, and Ray Stantz as Leonardo. Those make sense, although Ray as Leonardo? Ehhhh. But they honestly look pretty rad. Ninja Ghostbusters and are due to hit Target shelves in early November. They’ll come with all the appropriate weapons and accessories kids need to create their own Ninja Turtle ghost-fighting adventures....

Not so much anymore. For many of today’s students, college is a distressingly expensive, stressful, and incredibly serious endeavor. Young adults enter college with the explicit understanding that they are taking on massive amounts of debt in hopes of earning higher wages and behave accordingly. That means fewer toga parties and more Socratic learning, fewer misadventures and more time in the library. According to Dr. B. Janet Hibbs, co-author of The Stressed Years of Their Lives: Helping Your Kid Survive and Thrive During Their College Years, this is increasingly depriving young people of the chance to not only learn, but learn how to be happy....

“Given our heightened focus on human trafficking and the role money plays in trafficking children, I knew I had to take action to make sure this activity does not occur again,” Schaffer said in a statement to Fox 8, adding, “We can do better to protect innocent children and we must do better.” House Bill 180 would update Ohio’s current child endangerment laws to prohibit parents from putting on performances with their kids that “appeal to prurient interest....

According to the paper, written by Josué Ortega at the University of Essex in the UK and Philipp Hergovich at the University of Vienna in Austria, meeting online is now a much stronger indicator of a marriage’s potential for success. The researchers measured the compatibility between two partners in 10,000 randomly-generated societal simulations. They then calculated the strength of marriages according to their degree of compatibility. And after adding online-dating connections to those societies, what they found was that those online connections noticeably increased compatibility, presumably leading to better marriages....

But while I was ready to ditch them, my wife had other plans.“It’s not a big deal, every kid uses them,” she told me. In my mind, it sounded like an excuse an addict would make. They started daycare at about six months old so they already had limited pacifier use (the school doesn’t really allow them). And we’d only give it to them periodically, at times when they woke up unhappily or were being put down for a nap....

You want to be a happy parent — but your countless responsibilities make this goal challenging. Don’t lose hope just yet. I have a list of 15 things that keep you from happy parenting. Read through them. Be honest with yourself. Then let them go. Allow yourself to be a happy parent for your child — and yourself. Give up “supposed to.” We were conditioned by our own early family experiences to believe that parenthood or childhood are supposed to look a certain way....

When Wiz posted a picture of his son Sebastian waiting for the bus to school on his first day of kindergarten, the father of one had his hand up for a high five and was looking super proud. Wiz even made a point to note that Sebastian “RODE THE BUS AND ERE THANG!” But, it didn’t take long for commenters to chime in with remarks about how the rapper has too much money to let his kid ride the bus....

Pfizer and BioNTech announced that their COVID-19 vaccine is safe, and produces a “robust” immune response in kids aged five to 11 years old, via a press release. The companies say that they will now submit their data to the FDA for emergency approval for this age group. If approved, it would be the first authorization of any COVID-19 vaccination for younger kids in the United States. The companies studied the two-dose vaccine in a group of 2,268 kids via a combined Phase 2/3 trial....

Families began receiving the monthly payments in July as part of the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan. It’s estimated that the monthly payments — which provided up to $1,800 for children age five and under and $1500 for children age six to 17 over the last five months — raised roughly 4.1 million children out of poverty. Though parents will get the second half of the cash payments at tax time — about another $1,800 per kid — resuming monthly payments are so far out of reach....

RELATED: The Best Baby Carriers For Dads Designed to carry toddlers age 2- to 4-years-old and up to 50 pounds, the premise of the Piggyback Rider is simple: Parents wears the carrier like a backpack (hip belt included) while the kid stands on an integrated aluminum footbar on the back. For safety, the child is strapped into an attached safety harness and has four handholds (not attached to your face) to grip....

Why? Pfizer and Moderna haven’t investigated whether their vaccines reduce coronavirus transmission, and it’s scientifically possible that they won’t. Vaccinated adults will need to keep wearing a mask and social distancing to keep unvaccinated people safe — including children. After all, more than 1.4 million kids have had COVID-19. Also, we don’t know if you can spread COVID-19 after vaccination. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are great at preventing people from getting sick with COVID-19 — they’re both about 95 percent effective....

“Often once the heat of the moment has passed, they feel closer to one another as a result.” Studies have shown that fights can make friendships stronger by helping both parties understand one another’s triggers, and that arguments among colleagues can actually facilitate bonds in the workplace. But the bulk of the research focuses conflict in romantic relationships. One survey of 1,000 adults found that couples who argue effectively were 10 times more likely to report being happy in their relationships than those who avoided arguing altogether....

Reddit user u/BumblingZombo hit up AskReddit with an interesting question that ties back to our childhood. They posed the question, “What is something you thought as a kid was a sign someone was rich, but now realize is something that everyone does?” And hundreds of people hit up the comments with some interesting answers. “Kids who brought their lunch,” Dangerous_Effort3355 answered. “For a while, we got the discounted school lunch, so I assumed kids with lunch pails, and homemade sandwiches and snacks were rich....

In fact, during a recent survey of lead and cadmium in 28 different dark chocolate bars, scientists at Consumer Reports found the heavy metals in each and every one of them. Not only that, but five of the bars contained more than an ounce of the elements, which is over the level that public health officials say may be harmful to adults. Although this may be alarming to people with a sweet tooth, it’s not a new development....
