“We weren’t sure if their risk for anxiety and depression in adulthood was due to the fact that they simply were exposed to more bullying, abuse and stressors like that,” study coauthor Ryan Van Lieshout, a psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at McMaster University, told Fatherly. “Or if it was that the effect of each of those things was amplified by being born preterm.” The World Health Organization estimates that 15 million babies—about 1 in 10—are born prematurely, and that nearly one million die as a result....

On Having A Patient Teacher “I had a real rural background, and my dad showed me how to fix the fence, put up a new one, shoot my first rifle, hunt deer. He always took the time to show me how to do the job, rather than just expect me to know how to do it. It was important to him that I could do it so I’d be helpful, and he was so patient....

Though Marvel movies are, at their core, superhero fare targeted at family audiences, a perceptible shift has taken place as the MCU Industrial Complex has grown into a global enterprise: The movies have become more complex and harder to follow for young kids. Murder, betrayal, slavery, and malignant artificial intelligence have all shown up in Marvel films. While even the darkest of the dark can still be appropriate for children of the right age, there’s a clear spectrum forming, ranging from “might confuse or frighten your child” to “Ant-Man’s finale takes place in a toddler’s playset....

Yeah, that’s basically it. Even if your kid is an almost-2-year-old who looks kind of goofy facing all backwards like that. That’s at least according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, who changed their recommendation in 2011 to state that children shouldn’t face forward until at least age 2. In fact, they claim that is the minimally acceptable age to switch; they’d prefer Junior ride in reverse even until 5 years of age....

If the imagery in the trailer rings a bell, that’s because Cuphead, the game, and now The Cuphead Show! are inspired by 1930s-style animation, particularly the old Mickey Mouse cartoons from Walt Disney and shorts produced by Fleischer Studios. The Cuphead Show! is very much a kids’ program, but it skews a bit older, arriving on your screen with a TV-Y7 rating. Much like the Studio MDHR game, which was published in 2017, the show follows a couple of cups, brothers Cuphead and Mugman, who are always chasing fun and adventure in their wacky homeworld, Inkwell Isles, even as they race the clock to repay a debt to the Devil himself....

First off, let us wax poetic about the Ring. It lets you watch over your home in 1080HD video, and see, hear and speak to visitors from anywhere, thanks to its built-in microphone and speakers. Ring is also a top-notch motion sensor; the Ring 3 has enhanced motion detection technology. It lets you know when someone rings your door, and you can monitor who’s coming and going. Always a handy feature for parents....

Enter Robert Pattison’s The Batman, a movie we’ve been talking about for so long that it’s wild to think that it actually comes out in March! Speaking ahead of the film’s release, Pattinson told GQ that after watching a rough cut of the movie, he thinks “the first shot is so jarring from any other Batman movie that it’s just kind of a totally different pace.” He then points out that director Matt Reeves wanted the entire feeling of the film to be like “a ’70s noir detective story....

And like so many parents with a toddler at home, he’s having difficulty working. “I need a different set of psychological circumstances to create satire.” His solution? Recruiting his son to help him with his work. So he handed his son the mic and his three-year-old spun pure comedy gold. Here’s the Instagram video, plus, a partial transcript of what went down. Q: Are you a good dad? A: I mean, you know, we’re in unprecedented times right now and I think that and I really think that fatherhood is a moving target and don’t think it’s to say if you’re a good dad or a bad dad....

Since 2018, Ryan has pretty much worked non-stop. From Deadpool 2 to Pokémon Detective Pikachu, The Croods: A New Age, Free Guy, and Spirited, he hasn’t slowed down. On top of all those films, Ryan is also managing the schedule of overseeing several business ventures, including stakes in Mint Mobile, Aviation Gin, Maximum Effort Marketing, and Wrexham AFC. Oh, and he’s also a husband to Blake Lively, and father to their three little girls....

In a complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission, advocacy group Truth in Advertising (TINA) alleges that Ryan ToysReview, one of the most popular channels on the video-sharing site, “deceptively promotes a multitude of products to millions of preschool-aged children in violation of FTC law.” The channel is devoted to toy reviews starring Ryan Kaji, a seven-year-old kid who, along with his parents and twin sisters, has built a multimillion-dollar and multibillion-view empire....

For fans of the show, though, the cost may be worth it for the chance to ride like Lucas on what appears to be a really cool-looking bike. “This BMX-style ride is loaded with 1980’s nostalgia and show-inspired details,” the product description reads. “Enjoy the retro style banana seat with camo bandana and use the handlebar-mounted headlight for extra visibility and spotting Demogorgons.” Recommended for riders ages 6 and up who are between 4′ and 5′, the bike also comes equipped with an easy-to-operate single-speed drivetrain and a rear U-brake for safer stops....

Third-trimester sex might seem like the wrong idea. After all, the baby looks like it’s getting big. Also, your wife is likely in a great deal of discomfort. Plus, couldn’t she just orgasm the baby right out of her? The thought of having sex while pregnant can be a source of apprehension, however, these are reasonable pregnancy sex questions (in this situation, it’s always better to ask). The fact of the matter is that if everyone is happy, healthy, and down to do it, sex during the third trimester is perfectly safe — and perfectly fun....

There are no easy answers to any of these questions. The variables are too numerous; so are the unknowns. Yes, school districts across the country are working hard to create reopening plans and contingency plans should they not be able to. But, as we’ve learned over the past six months, COVID doesn’t really care about plans. So, considering all this, what are parents thinking? We spoke to a dozen fathers about whether or not they’ll be sending their kids back to school in the fall....

What is a Snow Moon? According to Inverse, a Snow Moon, also called the Storm Moon, Hunger Moon, or Bone Moon, come from the “difficult weather and food scarcity that Native Americans historically faced during this month.” The Old Farmer’s Almanac says the Snow Moon is also to mark the month where the US gets the most snow. On average, it’s the country’s “snowiest month,” according to the National Weather Service...

You don’t need to be Messi or Ronaldo to teach a kid how to juggle a soccer ball. In fact, there are some easy steps to teach your child how to juggle. Keep in mind: while you can certainly work with younger kids on dribbling and kicking a ball, 4, 5 or 6 is a good age to work with them on juggling. Now, here’s how to get things started....

Kids from disadvantaged backgrounds often have fewer opportunities to participate in organized sports or play in open spaces. Thirty-four percent of disadvantaged children play sports less than once a week compared to 13 percent of kids from higher-income families. But when they do get the chance, disadvantaged children experience stronger benefits from sports than rich kids do, according to a long-term study of more than 4,000 children in England that checked in with them at ages 7, 11, and 14....

(There are mild spoilers for Into the Spider-Verse below.) Ditko died in June at the age of 90, so he didn’t appear in Into the Spider-Verse. If you look closely though, his name does pop up on a cell phone contact list about halfway through the film in a small homage to the Spider-Man creator. His co-conspirator, Lee, passed away a few weeks ago in November. He’s cameoed in just about every Marvel movie since before the Marvel Cinematic Universe started....

She said “hat” while we were in the young girls department of a suburban Target. As my wife and I discerned after the shock of hearing her voice a word wore off, the single syllable utterance meant “I want to direct your attention to the hat on the shelf behind you. I like the hat and want to wear it now and bring it home.” We bought the hat and she wore it every day for months....
