The team at Playground Equipment created a valuable and fun infographic that helps teachers and parents think of ways to incorporate play into everyday activities. Play stimulates growth and development in children and helps them explore, solve problems, and develop their motor skills. The graphic helps adults learn how to involve more play during the day through low-effort games, activities, and objects.
Child abuse is entirely too common in the United States, with 558,899 in 2022 alone. These terrible statistics can lead to lifelong consequences and even fatalities. The team at Joslyn Law Firm brings awareness to this serious issue with their infographics displaying the states where child abuse rates are highest.
Overall, the team found that Massachusetts has the highest child abuse rates, with 16.5 children abused per 100,000. This state was followed by West Virginia, Iowa, and Maine, which had similar statistics, around 15 for every 100,000 children.
Meta has announced new parental controls for Instagram and
Messenger that will provide parents with more insights into how their children and
teenagers socially engage and spend time on the apps.
The parental control update on Messenger will let parents
know exactly the time duration a child is spending on Messenger. From the Meta
Family Center, parents will also be able to take a look at their child’s
Messenger contacts list, along with monitoring their privacy and safety
settings. Moreover, if a child reports someone on the app, parents will be
informed of it, as well as be able to see who can and can’t message their child.
Snapchat’s new Family Centre is providing parents with monitoring tools to supervise their children’s activities on the app, without
eavesdropping their private conversations, and understand the ways in which kids
and teens are engaging across the social platform.
Speaking about the update, Snapchat announced, “In the
coming weeks, we will add a new feature that will allow parents to easily view
new friends their teens have added.”
The social company further assures parents that they will be able to report any accounts that they find concerning in relation to Snap’s Trust and Safety teams, without informing their child about them, so as to keep any potential unwanted attention away from their children.
Meta has taken a new initiative towards the safety of
younger audience with regard to unsafe, intimate activities that teen users could
be engaging in over social media. The company has released a guide on how parents
could have discussions about these practices with their teen children and offer
them their advice.
One of the key elements of discussion that Meta has focused on is telling teens that sending or receiving intimate images isn’t something that everyone does, which suggests being cautious when receiving inappropriate images.
Since the pandemic began in 2020, many things about our lives have changed. Now that the scares from COVID seem to be mostly behind us, some changes have stuck with us. Some of these have been for the better, however some have not.
Paid parental leave varies greatly around the world. While some countries allow more than a year off to care for a new child, other countries offer little to no paid leave.
A child needs equal time from both of its parents but, some working parents are unable to spend as much time with their kids as they should. If we talk about fathers specifically, despite all the love and spoiling, they, unfortunately, spend lesser time with their kids.
As the infographic shows, US fathers get no parental leave at all. The country was among the ones that lack paid maternity leave for new moms but, fathers are also kept from getting a day off from their work to spend some quality time with their kids at home.
In various developed countries, new fathers are seen to take leave for weeks or even leave the job in order to give all of their time to their just-born child. Japan seems to be a pretty considerate country in terms of parental leave since new fathers there are allowed 30 weeks of leave that too, paid.
To help users fill their career gaps on their profiles,
LinkedIn has introduced a bunch of new job titles on its app. The platform has
also made changes to listings of freelance positions.
The new job titles have been especially introduced after receiving
feedback from women and mothers who have taken a break from their work and are
looking for more ways to address career gaps on their profile due to parenting
and other responsibilities.
“To make it easier for moms, and all parents, we’re making
some important changes to the Profile. We introduced new job titles, including
“stay-at-home mom,” “stay-at-home dad” and “stay-at-home parent” to allow
full-time parents and caretakers to more accurately display their roles,"
explained LinkedIn.
Having these new titles will answer concerns and questions around women’s career gaps. It will also give more credit to the work and responsibilities of parents, hence highlighting it as something positive in recruiter evaluation.
Every child's parents want the best birthday party for their kid. But the perfect party doesn't come easy at all. The most amazing party would also be costly. Budget should be the first thing on the mind of the parents. However, don't let budget hold you back. Even with a tight budget, there's so much that you can do for your kid's birthday.
Remember that planning for a kid's birthday should not be difficult. This is because kids can find almost anything entertaining. An easier way to approach kid's entertainment is to think like a child yourself. What did you love as a child? Perhaps it was colourful patterns or games where you could just fool around. Whatever it might have been, it would have been far from fancy. Not that fancy is something bad, it's just that it isn't absolutely necessary. You can plan a fun party while keeping it simple.
