Parents have been waiting for a vaccine for kids in this age group for months and months. And now, with the positive results from Pfizer as well as promising data in Moderna’s vaccine trial for the same age group, they could be on the cusp of getting their children vaccinated. The new, updated data on the vaccine’s efficacy and safety was collected in a study of 1,678 kids under 5....
Packaged in each BeatBox set is a colorful, fun mini-figure with a dozen decorative tiles called BeatBits, which work with a constantly updated playlist of songs from Universal Music Group — think Katy Perry, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, and Imagine Dragons. These tiles, along with the free Vidiyo iOS and Android app, give the Legos a host of creative and fun effects. Think of the BeatBox sets as two parts: the mini-figure and the stage it rests on....
Visme, a company that provides data visualization tools, gathered worldwide birth data between 2000-2015, which was provided by the UN, in order to create several charts which show countries’ most common birth months. The biggest takeaway is that, for the most part, the higher a country’s latitude, the earlier its peak birth month, as countries in the Northern Hemisphere see the highest number of births in July, August, and September....

Here, 15 dads share the time-saving strategies that work best for them....

“I’ll talk to my son Jack about the game and what he thought of the game and [he’ll say], ‘Dad, what were you doing on this play?! Why didn’t you just do this?!’” Brady said in a video captured by USA Today, adding that the 11-year-old “watches football and his buddies talk about football. That’s just a great thing for a dad, and for all of us, when our kids are interested in what we’re doing....
When 6-year-old Bridger’s story went viral, several of the Avengers sent messages of well wishes to Bridger who was recovering from 90 stitches on his face after the dog attack. At the time, Tom Holland invited Bridger to the set of the next Spider-Man movie, and he really followed through. Bridger paid a visit to the set where Spider-Man: No Way Home was being filmed. Tom set up an amazing once-in-a-lifetime adventure for Bridger and his family which included a tour of the film set and he was able to practice web-slinging....
On May 10, ESPN shared a video to TikTok that went viral pretty quickly. The video showcases one of the best skateboarders of all time, Tony Hawk, and the youngest skateboarder who’s on track to become just as big or more, Sky Brown. Watching each independently and the tricks they pull off on the skateboards is incredible. But we often only see the highlights, never the work behind the scenes....

Writer Hanif Abdurraqib shared his hilarious perspective on How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starting with the fact that the song “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is one of the most brutal diss tracks ever recorded and goes way overboard in taking the green guy down. The song really pulls no punches, taking shot after shot at the Grinch for being “a bad banana with a greasy black peel” and having a brain filled with spiders....
The new CDC report that’s the source of this data also states that more than 3.3 million Americans died last year, by far the most in any single year in American history. Around 11 percent of those deaths, 375,000, were due directly to COVID-19, which was likely an indirect cause of many of the others (e.g. drug overdoses brought on by the anxiety and depression of living during the pandemic and its disruptions)....
Because not every baby stroller can be attached to a skateboard, the makers of the longboard stroller also developed the super light Yezz. It’s an easy-to-fold umbrella stroller not propelled by push-kicking that’s designed to make traveling with toddlers a breeze. Dubbed the “Travel Hero,” the Yezz is made of a featherweight plastic (and easy-to-clean liquid repellant fabric), folds in a flash, and can be carried over your shoulder when Junior insists on running around the piazza in search of gelato....
The clamor around people discussing these painful events has obviously led the word “childbirth” to trend on Twitter — and moms and parents are being brutally honest about their childbirth experiences and just how painful it was. This type of medical and open honesty is somewhat rare. But it’s important for parents to share their experiences because it tells the truth around a painful, and life-changing experience, but it also reduces the stigma of women and parents asking about their painful experiences and trying to figure out if what they experienced was normal....
And it turns out Alanis has the same situation. As the beloved singer-songwriter debuted her new song “Ablaze” on the Jimmy Fallon show, she was joined by her very young daughter, who, just like most kids hanging with their parents at home, randomly said “Hi mom,” and other very regular kid stuff, while Alanis was belting out her new song. Listen. I thought Alanis Morrisette was edgy AF when I was in high school....
LawnStarter wanted to find out which of the nearly 100 biggest U.S. cities where recreational weed use is legal is the friendliest. To rank the cities, they narrowed down the 200 most populated cities in the U.S. From there, they excluded the cities where non-medical use and commercial sale of marijuana were not legal, as of April 1, 2022. They excluded Washington, D.C., and cities in Maine, Montana, and Vermont since they didn’t meet the dataset metrics for population size....
READ MORE: The Fatherly Guide to SIDS “Although we don’t have a full explanation of what happens with SIDS, we do have a hypothesis called the Triple Risk Model, which says SIDS is more likely to occur in certain infants who are vulnerable for some reason, during a critical development period, and when outside stressors are present,” says Dr. Goodstein. What exactly does that mean for your baby? Here, we break it down....
“I need cues to do things,” David Walton, actor and co-founder of Wakanicci tells Fatherly. “If I’m stressed out that stress is a cue to reach for the drink, reach for the phone, reach for whatever quick distraction to try and get myself out of that state. So, when I put on a bathrobe, it is truly a cue to try and chill.” If you watch the video below, or if you head over to Wakanicci (or hit up their Instagram), and see the pitch for “the Perfect Bathrobe,” you’ll totally recognize Walton’s face and self-deprecating humor....
For the most part I had accomplished my goals. I had a good career and I married a wonderful woman. However, after several years of marriage my wife and I had difficulty conceiving. We took several trips to the fertility doctor and they could find nothing wrong. My spouse was also reluctant to move forward with some aspects of treatment that were uncomfortable and invasive, both physically and emotionally. Eventually, we did go through treatments for a period of time, but they were unsuccessful....
“Men are socialized to be achievement-oriented, and it’s well documented that rigidly internalizing that socialization can lead to men who have some pretty serious struggles with work and family balance,” explains psychologist Ryon McDermott who co-authored the recently published APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice for Boys and Men. McDermott notes that characters like Don Draper, Belfort, and President Trump, who has actively rewritten his own story, have more in common than their ruthless pursuit of achievement....
It’s surprising to me how much the conversation around marijuana has changed over the past decade or two. Half Baked taught me that marijuana was the domain of goofy, good-for-nothing boys who have little ambition and nothing to offer the world. Today in America, marijuana has been rebranded as cannabis, and the government recognizes it as something that makes sick and anxious people feel better. Which means you no longer need to be a male 20-something with no prospects to use it without criticism....
