Beginning soon another round of Toy Purge. The #kids are getting older & the sets of #toys they still play with are less & less.
I've been through so many iterations of toy storage as a parent. I *desperately* wanted these aesthetically pleasing fabric storage cubes to work out. I have 2 of the 3x3 bookcases for them. But they didn't last long with 3 rough boys & heavy toys inside.

How to prepare our kids for a future we know next to nothing about?
At school: teach both (how to solve problems using AI & how to solve problems without it). Test both.
When choosing a career: follow your interests.
Sounds like sound advice to me.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 📱🧠 An eight-year Finnish #study followed 260 #children to see how physical activity and #screentime related to later cognitive processing.
More screen time correlated with better #teen cognitive performance, tied to the type of screen use rather than duration. Physical activity benefits also differed by gender, with light activity helping working #memory in #girls.

"Stop cackling and get into the shower" after kid #3 runs in front of kid #1 and blocks him from the shower.

If you make a mosquito bucket, please cover the top with screening so that toddlers don't fall in. Per the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, approximately 40 toddlers drown each year in the United States. Happens all over the world. Happens even when buckets are half full. #mosquitoes #buckets #health #safety #parenting #kids
One effect of having brought up a larger-than-average number of #kids through #teenage years, is having absolute zero tolerance for the #tv and #cinema #trope of "Teenagers are idiots who do everything in a maximally stupid way" as a plot device. I just stop watching, no regrets.
Because, either they're over the top wrong, or they are so spot-on I get flashback stress.

My 15-year-old daughter just discovered feminist cinema criticism.
a. This is awesome
b. She consistently surprises me with how much she understands
c. She got here by way of a video essay on youtube that might have oversimplified the thesis. This led her to hunt down the original (1984) paper, with some help from me
d. She has printed the paper, bound it like a little book, and has spent the past two hours in her room reading it.

#Kids Can’t Stop Watching ‘#Moana.’ There’s a Scientific Explanation
The 2016 release has become the most watched movie on #Disney+. Parents and experts explain why kids can’t get enough
The #songs in almost every #Disney animated #musical film released in the past few decades have been a danger to parents’ peace and quiet. Disney deployed an age-old formula: Take a narrative with broad appeal, wrap it in hooky melodies and watch the views rack up
