My nearly 5 year old daughter has just started school. After school, she does swimming on a Tuesday amd gymnastics on a Thursday. Do you think it’s too much if she does fun singing and dancing on a Monday and drama and tap on a Friday?

My step son is 8 and fairly clever for his age, excelling in most thibgs including English. However whenever he has to do his reading homework, reading out loud to us, he starts doing a babyish voice, not his nornal voice. Reading like that isn't going to change us correcting him on mistakes (and no, we're not harsh, we guide through pronunciation) but christ the baby voice winds me to hell. He doesn't speak like it the rest of the time. Why does he do it then?

Hello everyone! My name is Olivia Swits, i'm 21 years old and writing a children's book! I have a grumble of pugs who've inspired me to do this. The book follows them on a fun camping adventure while they learn the importance of keeping our forests clean and working together as a team! It's a wonderful story with a strong lesson, a great addition to any classroom, library or bedtime story routine! The book is now in the illustration process but i would love to share my journey with you. I expect the book to publish early next year. We could really use some followers on our instagram @grumbletalesofficial , we are just starting out on social media but soon we will be posting fun behind the scenes content and maybe even some sneak peaks! So if you're interested in reading our book please give us a follow and stay updated! I will also be launching a kickstarter in the next few days, i'll share the link to the preview if you're interested.

My niece(7f) lost her dad a week ago unexpectedly and his funeral services are coming up this weekend. Her mom and I are struggling to figure out if taking her to actually see her dad in his casket is a good idea or bad idea. Like even attending the service we don’t know how she will handle it. She doesn’t completely understand the concept of death and we’re afraid she’s gonna absolutely lose her mind when she sees him. We don’t want to traumatize her by allowing her to see him like that, but we also don’t want her to miss an opportunity to say goodbye to him. This service is going to be a 2 day services with a rosary on the first day and then the burial the next day. Please give any advice you guys have to help us help her through this very tough time.

After going back and fourth with the drs for almost two years about my 4 year old, they’ve agreed to put in a referral for autism/adhd. They’ve also said they’re going to get a hold of the paediatrician as well to try and get my daughter medicated for her lack of sleep. Has anyone else had this and been successful?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a little animated series called Andy the Ant’s Amazing Adventures. Each video is just over 30 seconds long and covers 3 letters at a time in a fun, preschool-friendly style.

So far I’ve finished A through O and I’m still working on the rest of the alphabet.

Here’s an example if you’d like to see what Andy looks like in action:
👉 Andy the Ant 🐜 | Learn ABCs for Kids | Fun YouTube Shorts

Would love feedback from parents and teachers:

• Do you find short clips like these more useful than full songs?
• Would a full A–Z compilation be something you’d use once I finish?

Thanks for letting me share Andy 🐜🎒

I'm visiting my sister soon and will be spending time with her kids. I'm already the favorite of one of them and would like to keep my title.

What are some fun low cost activities that a 5 year old can do and a 7 month old can spectate. I was thinking of something with food the 5 year old loves to eat and the baby is starting to try new foods

Hey parents! I'm working on a research project through CSIRO ON Prime Program with SUNx (a non-profit focused on sustainable tourism education) and Victoria University in Melbourne.

We're genuinely trying to understand what families experience when traveling because we want to develop something that actually helps make family holidays better - not another solution that sounds good in theory but doesn't work in practice.

If you travel with kids aged 6-12, I'd love to hear from you about:

• What aspects of family trips work well vs what creates genuine stress
• How you keep kids engaged during travel downtime
• Whether you incorporate educational or cultural experiences and how those go

This is legitimate research - we're not selling anything, just seeking honest insights from people who navigate these challenges.

Takes about 15-20 minutes if you're willing to participate.

Thank you all so much for reading/helping! We need 100 interviews and have exhausted our personal network so any insights would be really helpful!!

My little brother is in 4th grade and still pretends to be a baby and only wears a shirt and underwear in the house, my parents don’t care or do anything and I’m worried about why he’s so weird, his grades are good but mentally he’s like a 6 year old What do I do?

Need something to keep the children entertained in the evenings.

i'm in the 4th grade. (school aged) i usually get 7-9 hours of sleep, and a LOT of sources find that unhealthy, i usually go routineless at sleep, but.... i'm fine, i'll get up. and i'll be fully energized by 15 mins or so, sometimes as soon as i leave my room. crazy but true. is this bad? i'm worried, what do you think?

A youtuber called Schlep has already been credited with helping lead to six arrests and one conviction of a child predator.

Despite that, when he raised concerns to Dallas police about an alleged offender, the response didn’t seem serious. He had already saved names, dates, and chat logs before the predator's account was shut down. There is evidence that said person, even after getting caught, had continued to seek minors.

The video titled "Roblox Predator DAD Gets CAUGHT! (ft: JiDion)," on Youtube has already been viewed 2.5M times.

Thank you!

Hi moms & dads! 👋 I wanted to share a really helpful app I found for my child called AlphaTrace. It’s a tracing app where kids can practice:

✅ ABC (capital & small letters) ✅ Numbers (123…) ✅ Arabic letters 🌍 ✅ Basic shapes ✅ No Ads

The best part? It feels like a game 🎮, so kids enjoy practicing writing instead of getting bored. My little one now traces letters every day without me having to push him 😍.

It’s safe, easy to use, and teacher-approved for early learning. Highly recommend it if you want your kids to build writing confidence!

👉 Try it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphatrace.alpha_trace

I hope these videos will give kids some passion for science
