What is a picky eater test? According to pediatrician Dr. Leah Alexander, picky eater behavior is expected for kids from about 15 months until almost four years old. As long as they present as picky eaters as opposed to problem feeders, you are experiencing a common struggle. “Some of that is just inherent to toddlers,” she explains. “They’re just not as hungry, and they don’t need as many calories to grow and gain weight properly....

If you know, you know, and those who know climbing are aware there are two buckets for this discipline: Bouldering (climbing on a wall 10-20 feet high with a crash pad below in case you fall) and sport climbing (using a harness and rope for safety as you scale higher walls). “A combination of coordination and explosive power will suit a boulderer well, while sport climbing has a higher cardiovascular demand,” explains Waickman....

Baby and toddler gear can be loud, and we’re not just talking about the sounds of spinning rattles and dopey musical earwigs. The brightly colored patterns can take over your living room, announcing to everyone who walks in that, yep, you’ve got a kid now (in some ways, it’s kind of an apt metaphor for the massive transformation that takes place when you become a parent). But this refreshingly discreet (and yes, incredibly splurgy) Canadian-made activity center is not meant to be foisted off onto the next friend who happens to be pregnant....

I’m sure we all know who Gordon Ramsay is. He not only owns some of the most famous restaurants in the world but hosts some of the most popular TV shows. He’s known as hard to impress and seems to find joy in screaming at people when they’re no good at it. There are compilation videos of the unique insults he throws at people. Contestants on shows like Hell’s Kitchen and MasterChef are afraid of him....

TikTocker @sumala.cwong posted a compilation video of her little boy walking around. While we don’t know his exact age, the toddler has an adorable walk. In the video, mom added the caption, “I was wondering why sometimes my kid walking like this.” And the montage of her son walking around with his hands clasped behind his back begins. At home, playing with a ball, he walks with his hands on his back....

RELATED: John Legend is a Father of the Year Honoree A prodigious tweeter (since 2010) and huge fan of beloved hometown star Drake, Kelly gained international notoriety in 2015 when, to the delight of hip-hop fans across Canada, he injected himself into a Twitter-based rap battle between Drake and Meek Mill. Kelly trolled Mill hard, and with each new attack, the legend (and memes) grew. As Drake dubbed himself “the 6 God” in a shout out to Toronto’s 416 area code, Norm became its “6Dad....

Tubelox are a collection of large plastic pipes, connectors, and various other components such as wheel. They only come in two different kits — standard and deluxe. Each comes with a variety of suggested designs, from benches to a pyramid to a helicopter. The eponymous tubes are held together by connectors that resemble those you would use for PVC pipes: elbows, T-shapes, crosses and the like. Included clips help strengthen the structure, securing the pipes into the connectors at their joints....

RELATED: The Best Sleep Apps and Meditation Apps For Relax Kids Not to be confused with the slower (albeit similarly named) Snail Mail, Turtle Mail is pretty much a fax machine for kids. Actually, it’s a wooden, Wi-Fi-enabled toy mailbox with a receipt printer inside. The printer is thermal, so no ink is required ever (again, like a fax). The box is a handsome lacquered birch that comes in dark green or natural wood....

“The thing I get the most is, ‘You’re not going to believe me, but people tell me I’m like Phil!’” says Burrell, whose voice is cracking from screaming his way through a day filming a jet pack scene at Lake Tahoe. He gets that. He’s willing to have that same conversation a lot of times because he’s been there. “I have experienced so many failures at home on just one day as a parent,” he laughs....

The photo was originally shared by SCV Birth Center, a nationally accredited birth center in Santa Clarita, California. It shows the device, a wooden circle with progressively bigger holes circling the perimeter. Each hole is labeled with a number identifying its diameter in centimeters, a representation of the gradually increasing dilation of a woman’s cervix in labor. The largest hole, ten centimeters, is shown with a baby’s head peeking through....

The TikTok account Safe Sleep for Babies — which is dedicated to, you guessed it, showing how infants can safely get sleep and showing examples of some unsafe sleeping setups for infants — has posted a scary video on the platform. The video shows a baby, asleep in a crib, pulling a blanket over their face during the night and struggling for agonizing seconds to get it off of their face....

Youngkin’s policies are actually rollbacks — a rescission of protections established by his predecessor, Democratic Governor Ralph Northam, that had been put in place to protect transgender students. Earlier this month, Youngkin rewrote the existing policies and included anti-trans rules for Virginia schools. Included in the new policies are rules that students must use restrooms based on their assigned gender, students are not allowed to request that faculty use a different name or pronouns without parental consent, requires that students file legal documents to request the use of new pronouns, and encourages faculty and staff to out trans students to their parents or caregivers....

We are parenting in an era of the overscheduled kid. My boy’s childhood looks nothing like my own. I grew up in a series of dusty Colorado cul-de-sacs where afternoons and evenings were spent chucking dirt clods at boys as feral as myself. We’d powerslide Big Wheels until we wore the tires flat and they kerflumped along the sidewalks. We’d bang rusty nails into scrap wood and build dubious ramps for our bikes....

RELATED: How To Tell if a Young Kid Needs Glasses So as not to back out of a winning formula, the glasses in question are actually mini-me versions of the company’s most favored adult frames ⏤ the Wilkie, Lyle, Louise, Percey, Chamberlain, and Daisy ⏤ in two sizes: the Jr. (ages 8+) and the Jr. Jr. (ages 4-7). The frames are made of the same hand-polished acetate and the lenses are still impact-resistant polycarbonate with a scratch-resistant coating ⏤ so they won’t need to be replaced after the second day....

starred in and created the Fast & Furious franchise, and before Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers, Vin Diesel was once just another aspiring actor selling Street Sharks action figures to pay the bills. In an incredible clip from 1994, the same year that Diesel was writing, directing and starring in the short film, Multi-Facial, which would play at Cannes the following year and eventually get him noticed by Steven Spielberg, Diesel was taking every gig that he could get, including toy salesman....

An entire body of public policy—from tax breaks on mortgage payments to local zoning that favors single-family homes over apartment buildings—has been built around encouraging homeownership. That’s why the recent entrance of well-capitalized investors into the single-family home market is so concerning to so many. Young couples are now competing with more than 200 firms, from tech startups to money managers to rental platforms, to purchase houses priced at record highs....

There’s no one correct way to answer to the question of what counts as cheating because there’s no one correct way to behave in a healthy relationship and there’s no one, singular relationship. But to seek some answers, we spoke with a range of experts — including a psychologist, relationship advisor, polyamorist, and divorce lawyer — to gain a deeper understanding of what defines fidelity, infidelity, and cheating , how partners can draw boundaries responsibly, and how they can resolve conflicts in a healthy manner....

What Is a Chemical Pregnancy? The incredible efficacy of modern home pregnancy tests means that women can learn they are pregnant up to a week before a missed period. These tests measure the presence of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. The hormone is produced by the placenta and only reaches detectable levels in the urine after an egg has been fertilized and implanted in the womb. “What happens is that fertilization will occur, the egg will start implantation, and then it will stop developing....

What Causes Dark Circles Under Eyes? Everybody can get dark circles under their eyes, from children to adults, but undereye bags tend to worsen with age. “I see eye bags in almost all decades of adult life, and the most common age that I see them begins really in their 40s and onward,” says Christopher Zoumalan, M.D., an ophthalmologist and plastic surgeon based in California. “But some people are more prone to having them show up earlier, for instance, even in their 20s....

“Between the ages of 9 and 16, boys’ larynx and vocal cords grow significantly over time, which makes their voice deeper,” explainers general practitioner Nikola Djordjevic, M.D. “Along with larynx, cavities in the nose, throat, and sinuses become wider to enable the voice to resonate better.” The larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is a hollow muscular organ located at the top of the neck that’s involved in breathing and talking....
