Scarlett was promoting the upcoming movie Sing 2 and gave an update on how her youngest babe is doing. The proud mama said her son is “great” and he’s in that phase where he’s “making all the fun discoveries, like feet!...

At least they’ve done away with those foul-smelling cancer sticks, right? At first, experts thought so. In fact, vaping was promoted for years as a less-harmful step towards quitting smoking. The usually sweet-smelling vapors were thought to be a lot better than tobacco and chemicals set on fire. We were wrong. “Our understanding of e-cigarettes is still accumulating, but at this point, we are pretty confident that e-cigarettes are at least two-thirds to three-fourths as bad as cigarettes,” says Stanton Glantz, Ph....

“We have a lot of pathogenic bacteria around us. We have to live with them, and better, to learn to live with them,” explains study co-author Dr. Jose Luis Blanco of Universidad Complutense de Madrid. He characterizes the study as a wake-up call to the potential health risk of outdoor play spaces. Blanco suggests his findings speak to the need of a “one world, one health” approach that would see “medical doctors, veterinarians, and environmental technicians working to know the habitat of the bacteria, the way to stop its transmission to humans, and control the disease in humans and animals....

Babies cry whenever they are feeling discomfort or unease. They will cry regardless of whether or not they are in the presence of grocery store checkers or royalty. There’s literally nothing to be done to stop it or solve it. But that doesn’t mean we can’t support the parent who is stuck in a helpless situation. After all what else would we have them do? We can’t demand that parents stop flying, or buying groceries, or taking the bus, or going to church....

You’ve seen dads that train their daughters to walk through the world with confidence and throw a punch like Ronda Rousey. But the secret to their swagger is giving them the ability to actually put a threat in its place. RELATED: Kids Don’t Trust Police Anymore. They Shouldn’t That’s exactly what Jennifer Cassetta, founder of Stilettos and Self Defense, has been preaching — or, more appropriately, demonstrating with her 10-plus years of Korean martial arts skills....

The goal of these proposed accounts is to ameliorate the increasingly stark wealth inequality that has plagued the United States. According to the Urban Institute, the wealthiest Americans have 12 times the assets of middle-income families. This is not so much an accident as it is a matter of public policy and a decades-long practice of paying African Americans less than white Americans, and providing them loans that have higher-interest....

Is sex during pregnancy safe? The short answer here is yes. In fact, it’s important.

Green Sprouts, a North Carolina-based company, has issued a voluntary recall in coordination with the CPSC after receiving seven reports of incidences where the bottles have broken, exposing the solder dot. The notice states that no injuries have been reported in conjunction with this recall. Green Sprouts said via a statement posted to its website that was only recently been made aware its products were “manufactured with a solder dot containing lead that creates a vacuum seal between the internal and external steel layers,” explaining the CPSC-approved third-party lab didn’t test the solder dot since it was “inaccessible under normal use....

“The impact of limited quantity or poor quality sleep is increased irritability, anxiousness, and difficulty with mood stabilization,” Dr. Noah Siegel, a doctor and professor at Harvard medical school, told Fatherly. “Some people become more irritable, snappy and less patient with others, like their spouse, co-workers, or children,” family physician Dr. Crystal Bowe agreed. “Many individuals become inattentive, and more prone to mistakes, even on tasks they can normally do with very little effort....

“Sleep is a rhythm,” says Dr. Abhinav Singh, M.D., Medical Director for the Indiana Sleep Center. “It’s about quantity as well as quality as well as alignment. Think of it as a set of wheels or tires for a car. They have to be of good quality, they have to be the right size, and they have to be aligned right as well for it to work.” In other words, the rules for good sleep don’t change....

Good communication is crucial to so many aspects of life, including maintaining a healthy marriage parenting well. One recent study from the University of Michigan underscores the lasting effects that (mainly bad) communication has on kids’ lives. The results affirm that, for parents, learning how to effectively communicate with their kids in a calm, non-aggressive fashion, especially when they’ve done something wrong or non-agreeable, is vital for kids’ positive developmental outcomes....

According to the CDC, not getting enough sleep could be a risk factor for things like heart disease and high blood pressure, and most adults should be getting at least 7 hours every night. But now, a new study suggests that when you go to bed could be a factor in your health as well, NBC News reports. Researchers with Huma Therapeutics, a British medical tech company, looked at whether someone’s bedtime correlated with their risk of developing heart disease....

Which brings me to my point: it’s time to get rid of summer vacation. It’s hell on parents. Sure, those months of sun-dappled freedom were something we adults look back on with fondness. At least I do. I went to camp and spent long afternoons in agenda-less hanging out. It was salutary. But now with two kids of my own, it’s literal hell. From a pure parental perspective, summer is a logistical nightmare — not to mention really fucking expensive....

On Friday, the state senate voted 18-4 to pass the bill, which would remove prominent social justice figures and movements throughout American history from required teachings, including Susan B. Anthony, the history of the Native Americans, and Martin Luther King Jr. According to Bloomberg Law, the bill would also prevent teachers from speaking on current events or divisive topics without “giving deference to any one perspective.” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R), who presides over the Senate, praised the bill, saying that it will allow students to focus on learning without being influenced by leftist ideology....

This premise is obviously insane. Why would the citizens trust their fire safety, for instance, to a clumsy pup whose dog house turns into a fire truck? Dogs, after all, don’t even have thumbs! Where does the money for that kind of stuff even come from? Why is every adult on this show a complete imbecile? Where are most of the adults to begin with? These were a few of the burning questions of The Gaudian‘s Senior Social Reporter Martin Belam (and any parent who’s ever watched the show, frankly)....

Don’t work harder, work smarter. There are some fairly common workout mistakes guys make that can do serious damage to their fitness progress, says Shaun Jenkins, senior trainer manager at Tone House in New York City — starting with a warped sense that what you see on social media is real. “Instagram does a horrible job of providing a truthful analysis of what it takes for someone to look the way they do,” he says....

It’s a common misconception that there aren’t all-inclusive resorts in the United States. There are, or at least hotels and resorts ⏤ many of which are targeted to families ⏤ that offer all-inclusive packages complete with meals, activities, and structured daily programs to keep kids of all ages entertained. Some are billed as family summer camps, some are beach resorts, and still others are luxurious dude ranches. They’re located in every region, horseback riding seems to be a common activity, and childcare is almost always built-in to the price....

So is there a way to make knock-knock jokes for kids funny, or even just bearable, for adults? Believe it or not, killer knock-knock jokes do exist. “I believe what makes knock-knock jokes fun is the fact that they are interactive,” says Rob Elliot, dad joke extraordinaire and author of Knock-Knock Jokes for Kids. “You have to respond to get to the punch line. This makes them fun for kids and their families ⏤ even if parents are not particularly fans of knock-knock jokes....

RELATED: The 6 Best Umbrella Strollers We hated it. I didn’t want a monster truck for a stroller. I wanted something light and easy to drive. A carriage that didn’t fill half my trunk or require I do regular deadlifts to hoist it. We said enough. Mea culpa. We had registered for the wrong stroller, and it was time to move on. And, so, after doing some more research, we decided to roll the dice on a relatively new-to-market, at least at the time, compact stroller from France with little U....
