Dinosaur? Piece of cake. Robot? Sure: how about one that flies like a helicopter? The fact that each connecting point can rotate 360-degrees gives effortless movement to each new project. The result is pleasingly tactile and staggeringly adaptable to different types of play. Your only issue might be not wanting to share them with your kids. The swiveling connecting points are powered by strong enough magnets that a three-foot structure can confidently keep form but easy enough to disconnect that little hands don’t have to struggle to move on to the next project....

Insider reports that the measure passed the city council via next year’s budget, with support from Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the publication notes.The program will only apply to 5,000 people, chosen at random, all of whom make less than $35,000 per year. According to the Living Wage Calculator from MIT, $35,000 per year is not considered a living wage for many people with children in Cook County, Illinois, home to Chicago’s 2....

Parents who qualified to receive their third check from the Child Tax Credit (CTC) would have received it on or around Sept. 15 as a direct deposit. Those who are expecting paper checks might need to wait until the end of the month before it arrives. The fourth installment is just around the corner though – Oct. 15 to be exact – and the deadline to sign up for the payment (if you just had a baby) or unenroll from the monthly cash installments (if you want a bigger tax cut at tax-filing time in 2022) is quickly approaching....

“The really big takeaway message is how important it is to be physically active when people are young, in childhood,” says study author Michele Callisaya, Ph.D. from the National Centre for Healthy Ageing at Monash University in Melbourne. “And that’s important, we now know from this study, for midlife brain health.” The findings suggest that schools and parents should promote physical activity as much as possible, she says. Callisaya’s team started their research with 1,244 children in Australia in 1985, all of whom were between the ages of 7 and 15....

Part one begins with Teigen pounding a “gavel” and grills Luna about why she deserves the candy in question. “I want the candy because I want it. And I like it,” Luna argues. Honestly, fair enough. But Teigen isn’t folding that easily. “I need a really good reason as to why you need the candy,” she refutes. Luna again insists that “I like it” is sufficient, and Teigen accepts under the condition that she “won’t scream” when it’s time to sleep, something that all parents will relate to....

Color Me Book may sound like a 90s kindie rock band (and that logo isn’t helping any), but this is a thoroughly modern coloring experience. Simply upload ten of your favorite photos (or Instagram screenshots because obviously) and in about two weeks you’ll have anywhere from 5 to 25 pages of selfies and kid pics and food porn to color. Fill in those flannel prints with all the colors of the rainbow....

men in their 40’s, 30’s, and even 20’s — notably the late actor Chadwick Boseman. And in 232 hot spots around the U.S., it’s killing way more young people than it should be.Colorectal cancer — which can cause abdominal pain, blood in the stool, and a change in bowel habits — is most common in older people. People aged 50 and over account for nine out of 10 new cases....

The Cuss Collar is a real dog collar that will play a swear word every time your dog barks. There are pre-recorded words, including the obvious f-bomb, sh*t, and others that are equally as funny. The company is very clear to say that this product is just for fun – for us humans – and is not a “shock/ vibration/ training collar and is not intended for anti-bark training use....

Just look at that cast! Williams proved herself to be an exceptional actress. She was good on Dawson’s Creek, but better elsewhere, even during the show’s run, when she appeared in Dick, But I’m a Cheerleader, The United States of Leland, and The Station Agent. Her choices after “Creek” dried up were equally eclectic and challenging: Brokeback Mountain, Blue Valentine, Oz the Great and Powerful, Manchester By the Sea, The Greatest Showman, All the Money in the World, Fosse/Verdon, and Venom....

“Once a week, if I am exhausted and we are about to sit down and watch 60 Minutes, why not?” Bell said to Maron. Although many wouldn’t find this revelation in itself controversial, Bell’s husband has been sober for 14 years after struggling with substance abuse. Some took Twitter to criticize Bell for being so careless to use drugs around someone who is sober. After her comments started a debate on Twitter, The Talk hopped on the bandwagon and posted a question to their followers: “Kristen Bell vapes weed around Dax Shepard, even though he’s sober....

Ask any parent with young kids at home what they think about Daylight Saving Time (DST), and they likely have strong feelings. But, back in 2021, there was some talk that Daylights Saving Time would be over. Although the Senate passed a bill that wt bill did not become law. So, that time has come again, when we’re about to lose an extra hour of the day. Is Daylight Savings Ending In 2023?...

Recognition of the crisis of father ‘absence’ dates back — like many poisonous elements of our national conversation around race– to Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s controversial 1965 book “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action.” The prevailing assumption since that time has been that mothers are abandoned by good-for-nothing men “who impregnate women and selfishly flee,” as William Bennett, George W. Bush’s secretary of education, said. These single moms elicit sympathy....

There are four modes – Play, Record, Playback, and Demo — so not only can you dance out beautiful music but you can record your recreations as well.

Beyond the funding bill, the Senate needs to raise the debt ceiling ASAP. If they can pass more government funding to avoid a shutdown, they will still need to raise the debt ceiling before government money runs out in mid-October. If that were all that was happening on Capitol Hill today that has a direct and immediate effect on the current and future welling of families, that would be one thing....

Some of the details are still developing, however, and the bill has neither been fully unveiled nor passed in any way. This means that the unveiling of this stimulus package is pretty much happening at the last possible moment. Even still, the future of the package is undecided. Time will tell what will actually happen with the package, especially since congressional Democrats and Republicans have disagreed on several aspects of the plan, and neither House Speaker Nancy Pelosi nor Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said whether they would vote for the package....

There is a tremendous amount of information — and misinformation — out there, muddying the waters around safe co-sleeping and making it difficult for parents to make comfortable, rational decisions about the best way to raise their kids. And for families who do choose co-sleeping, out of principle or pragmatism, still more questions arise. What kind of newborn co-sleeper is best for keeping an infant in arm’s reach but out of harm’s way?...
