Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, more parents than ever before are likely to be doing some type of homeschooling in the coming school year — whether it’s full-time, part-time, or please-let-it-be-none-of-the-time. From Off-Gridders to Pod People and beyond, these are some of the types of homeschooling parents you might encounter during your next back-to-school Zoom meeting.

The decision to have children is a major one, to say the least, and an increasing number of women are choosing to have babies later in life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that for the first time ever, more women in their early 30s gave birth in 2016 than younger women in their 20s. This isn’t terribly surprising — as men and women continue to get married later in life than previous generations, it stands to reason they’d start families later as well....

If you’re a parent of a child with ADHD, you may have experienced difficulty in getting your child to sleep at a reasonable hour. As it turns out, this is a common issue amongst parents as up to 70 percent of children with ADHD have difficulty falling asleep, according to CHADD. Some common sleep problems can range from a child needing a particular thing to be able to fall asleep (like their parents being present) to a child experiencing anxiety about specific nighttime fears such as the dark or being alone in bed....

It’s a very weird time to be looking for a job. Considering the fact that much of the country is still in lockdown, and the country has the highest unemployment numbers since the Great Depression, this is true no matter who you are. Looking for your first or second real job as a teenager this summer might be so daunting that some may be tempted to give up before they even try....

Does it seem like your preteen is constantly checking their social media accounts? This common habit might be linked to changes in their brain’s sensitivity to social dynamics, according to new research. A longitudinal study published in JAMA Pediatrics explored whether habitually checking social media had any long-term affects on brain development in preteens. All 169 participants were recruited between the ages of 12 and 13 and followed closely over the course of three years....

When parenting gets hard, you should just … quit? One dad on Reddit thinks so, as he recently posted about how challenging it was to co-parent his 6-year-old son with his “toxic” ex. Instead of working things out like an adult — or taking the matter to court to ensure the best treatment for his son — the dad decides he just won’t ever see his son again. He partially blames this on the fact that his new wife is pregnant and “cannot deal with stress right now....

In a move that wildly insults Dwyane Wade‘s stance as a proud parent and LGBTQ+ ally, his ex-wife is doubling down on her claim that he’s supporting Zaya Wade‘s request for a legal name and gender change for financial gain. Not because he’s been adamant for years about doing everything in his power to help Zaya “be her best self,” but because the 3x NBA champion who’s married to an extremely successful actress, author, and brand owner needs to use his kid’s identity as a transgender teen to rake in some much-needed cash....

The holiday season is supposed to be a time of joy and excitement, and it is … if you’re a little kid who hasn’t a care or commitment in the world other than getting their wish list to Santa on time. But if you’re a parent, you know the real deal about the holiday season: it’s hard. Because as much as we love seeing our kids enjoy themselves, being the one responsible for an entire family’s festive enjoyment is stressful on a whole other level....

Gabrielle Union’s 4-year-old daughter Kaavia James (aka “Shady Baby”) is in hot water after a recent sassy moment with her daddy Dwyane Wade. The Strange World star went full investigative reporter mode to learn more details about the jaw-dropping backtalk, and the resulting video is so funny. “What did you say to Daddy?” Union asks her daughter in the video. Kaavia is walking around in a blue sparkly tutu and a shirt that foreshadows the situation, which reads: “I rule Daddy’s heart....

Since then, Jackson has been vocal about her love for taking on the new role of mom and all the joy that Eissa — now 5 years old — has brought to her life....

To those of us currently doing our jobs while trying to facilitate Zoom kindergarten classes (and keep our preschoolers busy during conference calls, and make sure the baby is asleep by our afternoon meeting, and… you get the drift), it’s hardly news that working with kids at home is hard. But it does pack a punch when you see the latest numbers showing that less than half of parents with kids in virtual learning are unable to remain employed full-time....

When the subject of J.K. Rowling’s transphobia comes up among parents of young readers, many often ask whether it’s wise to stop support of all problematic authors — as if there will be nothing left for our kids to read. One answer to that question is Rick Riordan. In a recent interview with The Guardian, the author of the Percy Jackson series and its spinoffs explained quite clearly why he, a cisgender white man, found it so important to write LGBTQ characters into his books....
