The pandemic year has been a struggle for parents who had to juggle home or remote schooling alongside their jobs. But one small silver lining in it all is it’s helped parents spend more time with their kids. At least that’s what one new survey shows. Data was compiled by FlowingData from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ American Time Use Survey, where participants were asked to report activities they do within 24 hours....

Kenzo was watching the movie with his parents, Keith Brooks and Kaheisha Brand, who immediately noticed the similarities but wondered if their son would recognize his onscreen doppelgänger. It turns out he did and was delighted to see a character who looked so much like him. As Kenzo watched the movie, he clapped along when Antonio appeared. “I honestly think he may have believed he was actually seeing himself because of the resemblance between him and Antonio,” Brand told Romper....

This increase marks the highest number of accident-related deaths in over 15 years, and the most significant increase since the NHSTA began using the Fatality Analysis Reporting System. And it’s of particular importance to all of us, especially parents: motor vehicle-related accidents are the second leading killer of children in the United States, behind firearms. How unsafe are roads in America? “People in America are more than twice as likely to be killed on the road compared to Canada, just over the border, and more than four times as likely than in the leading countries of Western Europe,” Representative Peter DeFazio, Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee said during a committee meeting to discuss the NHSTA findings....

The beautiful part is debatable. Banks’ crisp advice is not. Before self-created Instagram influencers peddled janky products in heavily filtered how-to videos, Banks was busy making history: She was the first Black woman on the covers of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and GQ, after walking in runways for every major designer. Later, as the creator of the series America’s Next Top Model, she coined the phrase “smize,” which, to the uninitiated, means smiling with your eyes....

But, like any motor skill, rhythm needs to be cultivated and developed. That’s where quick-step exercises come in. “If you play a drum on a beat, the kid has to put their feet on the beat, and if the drum stops, you stop. It’s as simple as that,” says Terry Iacarino, a Baltimore County public school music teacher. “Get them to move, and see if they can make it silly and keep it on the beat....

Babies are imitators. If they watch you sit down at your desk all day and take calls and type on your computer, when they play pretend, they’re going to do the exact same thing. If they see you pick up a pair of dumbbells or do squats, they’re going to do squats and (try and fail) to pick up those dumbbells. It’s a natural way that they learn and make sense of the world, and play, and it’s totally adorable — even if watching a 10-month-old open an iPhone with ease might actually be a little creepy....

The episode debuted on June 17 and is now streaming online for free. You can watch the entire episode (not just clips!) above. In a touching Instagram post, actor Chris Costa wrote: “I hope Dave, Frank, and Mia warm your hearts. And remember, it’s love that brings families together. Happy #Pride everyone!!!” This doesn’t appear to be a one-off appearance for the new family either. Dave, Frank, and Mia are joining the regular cast of characters on Sesame Street....

Monologue The monologue is obviously the best place for an SNL host to set the tone for the episode and Wilson pulled that off with a healthy dose of his trademark laidback charm. He started off cracking jokes about the vaccine being available “everywhere except Florida” and jokingly celebrated that “everything went back to normal for about a week-and-a-half.” He then revealed that his brothers, Luke and Andrew, were in the audience and discussed his hilarious perspective on reading reviews about his acting: “I just read the good ones....

Case in point: Sheena Melwani, a self-described media artist who posts piano and vocal performances of original and popular songs all over the internet. Her dad, an Indian-Canadian man, became an internet celebrity when she started posting videos of herself playing and singing songs and reacting to her dad’s off-screen commentary mocking her and the songs she sings are hilarious. One of Melwani’s videos blew up on July 4 when it was posted by another influence....

After all, X Æ A-12 (not his legal name, which is X AE A-XII) is a bit of a mouthful. And while we now know how to pronounce his name (Musk confirmed on Joe Rogan’s show that the phonetic pronunciation of the confusing name is “X Ash A Twelve”) we don’t know what his parents will regularly refer to him by. Would his parents call him X? Would they call him Ash, as Grimes and Musk have suggested is the pronunciation of the AE in the name?...

When was the last time you yelled? Oh I don’t know. But the time I most recently remember was about two weeks ago. Okay. What happened? I lost my temper with my mother-in-law. Oh boy. Yeah. Do you normally have a good relationship with her? Honestly, yes. I love her. She has a great sense of humor and is really warm and caring. She also loves watching college football — she’s a big UT fan — which gives us something to bond over....

First, a clarification: When scientists study a man’s hands, they don’t focus much on the actual hand size itself. They’re looking at the proportions of his fingers. A man’s index finger, compared to his ring finger, tells scientists how much testosterone he may have been exposed to in utero. This, in turn, influences many behavioral, health, and anatomical outcomes throughout his life. Turns out, men who are overly concerned about the size of their hands should shift their attention to their fingers....

Jenna (not her real name) and her husband entered their marriage as monogamous partners. But soon, they realized that they might enjoy exploring CNM. The path to this decision was long, starting with swinging clubs and then moving to double dates and then dates on their own, but, Jenna says, it has also been very fun. For her, adjusting to CNM made her realize how much she and her husband needed good, solid communication for the new arrangement to work, which in turn, made them better partners....

Researchers have used some pretty out-there methods to answer these questions. Think terrifying babies with pictures of spiders and snakes or coaxing infants to crawl over a suspended glass surface and into their mothers’ arms. Fortunately, these odd experiments have produced some fascinating insights into the origins and functions of fear — which may come in handy for parents dealing with monsters in the closet, or a crying toddler at the zoo....

No, They’re Not Actually Balls The size of your balls is one of the most frequent conversation starters for the rest of your life. But jokes (or humblebrags) aside, testicles are typically 2-to-3 inches in length and one-inch wide. Given their oval shape, the Spanish slang term “huevos” is much more apt than “balls” or “nuts.” Also good to know: The right jewel is often the larger of the two — though the left generally hangs lower....

All dogs are different, but some characteristics are more common within a breed than others, and it’s important that you know what to expect if you opt for a purebred dog. Some breeds love nothing more than laying on the sofa, soaking in your love and adoration (and treats), while others would like nothing more than to run laps around a big backyard. Thankfully, science can help. A new study just ranked 13 breeds based on intelligence, and the results may help you choose your next four-legged friend....

If sports excite you more than spin class, and the idea of scoring points matters more than how much you can bench press, consider these activities that emphasize team spirit and gamesmanship while getting you, incidentally, super fit. Tennis At 600 calories an hour, you’ll definitely be feeling the burn as you channel your inner Nadal. What’s more, the lateral movements — something your body is not used to — strengthens your glutes, quads, calves, and core, while mastering your stroke is excellent for developing ripped shoulder and arm muscles....

When Can Babies Use Blankets? Per the AAP, you should wait until a child is at least 1 year old. Some pediatricians give the okay at 6 months of age. However, blankets pose the greatest risk to babies between the ages of 5 and 11 months because they have the motor skills to wiggle and move around in their crib, but not necessarily enough to untangle themselves if the blanket were suffocating them....
