Keen Big Kids’ Oakridge Waterproof This low-cut hiker has waterproof-breathable leather and fabric on top with a non-marking, rock-gripping sole. The bungee lace system, which on the little kids’ version combines elasticized laces with a Velcro closure, is easy to get on and off, and also easy for your child to fine tune when they’re rock hopping and running around. The padded collar and tongue prevent pressure points. And because the shoe is treated with odor control, even when your scrambler wears it barefoot, it won’t stink....

According to the data from Kelly Blue Book, one EV maker remains ahead of the pack, and that likely won’t change for a while. As explained by Statista, the data used to compile the ranking of the best-selling EVs in America in 2022 was taken using sale data from the first nine months of 2022. However, despite only data from the first three quarters of 2022, the full-year delivery figures don’t suggest the fourth quarter would lead to significant changes....

Here’s what you need to know about this latest development, and if it applies to you or your family. Who is affected by Biden’s new student debt relief policy? The new policy will help around 1.14 million borrowers who defaulted on student loans taken out under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. The FFEL program was a system of private student loans subsidized by the federal government that existed from 1965 to 2010....

Men have been using rock stars as role models since before rock stars started rocking. This is problematic for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that I saw Mick Jagger speeding through the west village in a sports car with a Melanie Hamrick in the year 2015. Jagger had a baby with Hamrick in 2016; I became a father in 2017. I was certainly living a higher life pre-baby than I was post-baby, but I was not rocking a sports car at unsafe speeds....

The Aug. 3 legal decision, which has received far less media attention than it deserves, represents the most significant blow to opponents of child porn in decades. We believe it could lead to a sharp increase in the number of underage performers being exploited due to the removal of legal oversight and penalties for uploading or distributing images that feature minors. We’ve been studying the business of porn for years, as scholars, advocates and experts in legal battles....

What will kids remember about this strange time in their lives? Should we want them to remember all the details or to gloss over this time? Will these experiences, coupled with our second-hand stress, leave them somehow emotionally hobbled? In truth, because of the way that children’s memories are created, coded, and re-coded, it’s distinctly possible that none of the anxiety-producing questions plaguing parents in this moment are, in fact, relevant at all....

Dumbo (1941) Still in heavy rotation among the Disney classics, and guaranteed to pop up even more with a much-discussed live-action remake on the horizon, the appeal of Dumbo is undeniable, as it’s an underdog story about a floppy-eared elephant who strives for success under the big top. Still, there’s a lot that has aged about as well as a discarded hunk of string cheese. The trippy “Elephants on Parade” sequence is the stuff of nightmares, a hallucinogenic, alcohol-induced fever dream that seems more like a White Zombie video than kids entertainment....

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the experience of American parenthood. Locked down with their children and each other, mothers and fathers are struggling to meet the demands of the moment. To be fair, it’s a uniquely demanding moment. For those lucky enough to be able to keep working, multitasking is the new normal as caregiving and education are in-sourced. For the many millions now among the unemployed, financial considerations, and the ambiguity of the current situation — when will it end?...

What is Cradle Cap? “Cradle cap is usually caused by maternal hormones still circulating in the baby,” explains Dr. Adnan Mir, Committee Chair of the Society for Pediatric Dermatology. “So, as long as those hormones are still there, there’s not much you can do to make it better and not much you can do to make it worse.” Cradle cap is known by the medical name seborrheic dermatitis and presents itself as oily and sometimes crusty patches on an infant’s scalp....

In a video shared by the YouTube channel ViralHog, an Ohio man repeatedly slides his young son from the roof of the car down each of the windshields, clearing off the snow and eliciting squeals of delight from the youngster, who’s clearly having the time of his life, in the process. The video was shot by the boy’s mother, who can be heard laughing throughout. She also shared some more details of the impromptu winter fun in the accompanying caption....

Mary Poppins: Helpful Super-Nanny or Evil Domestic Demi-God? Everyone knows that Mary Poppins is “practically perfect in every way.” But is her cheerful demeanor a mask? While we are clearly supposed to see Poppins as a lovable protagonist, an alternative viewing suggests she may be a cruel demi-god who is secretly teaching humans to submit to her supernatural abilities and totalitarian authority. Throughout the movie, Poppins truly shows no interest in personal growth or nonconformity and instead uses her power to amass admirers who follow her blindly with absolute devotion....

Norris, a Harvard graduate who’s been in everything from 1989’s Lethal Weapon to 1990’s Total Recall to 2006’s Little Miss Sunshine, is now headlining the sitcom United States of Al, playing a veteran whose son, also a veteran, befriends his Afghan translator (notably, to the collective dismay of the Internet, not played by an Afghan actor). All that aside, the CBS show is getting solid ratings to date, and Norris is stoked....

Approximately three-quarters of people who drink alcohol to the point of intoxication experience hangovers, which are characterized by a variety of symptoms related to heavy drinking, including fatigue, headaches, increased sensitivity to light and sound, muscle aches, increased thirst, dizziness, and cognitive and mood disturbances like depression, anxiety, and irritability. Despite how common they are, scientists know very little about what makes hangovers such fresh hell for so many parents....

What, exactly is Minoxidil? Nowadays, the apparent success of products containing minoxidil, such as Rogaine, practically warrants its own aisle at most drug stores. So what is it? “Minoxidil works by shortening the telogen phase [the resting phase] of hair growth and lengthening the anagen phase [the growing phase] of hair growth,” explains Dr. Shafer. He also said it can help improve blood flow to the scalp to help supply growing hairs with essential oxygen and nutrients....

READ MORE: The Fatherly Guide to Weed It’s not totally their fault. Research out of the American Chemical Society has shown that many today’s THC-rich pot strains are 20 percent more potent than what was available 30 years ago. Marijuana is, in short, a significantly different drug than it once was and, thanks to the vaporizer, one consumed far more efficiently. Has this scared boomers away? Absolutely not. Studies show that between 2006 and 2013 marijuana use among adults 50 and older increased by 71 percent and use for those 65 and older more than doubled....

Dear Ellison As you begin your freshman year of college, I wanted to talk with you about legacy. I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit since your grandfather passed away last month. There are several meanings of that word and many of them apply to you. In a very real sense, you and your siblings are my legacy — just as I am my father’s — by which I mean that you are the gift that I will leave to the world, the piece of me that will continue on after I am gone....

It’s me. Dude Turned Dad. I’m here to offer you the relaxation you so badly need. A new form of self-care: The ASMR video. A long growing YouTube sub-genre, ASMR has finally broken into the mainstream. Auto Sensory Meridian Response is the art of whispering into microphones. Meditative voices, small pops, crunches. All into a microphone and all to provide a tranquil alternative to your non-tranquil life. So I made one for us....

The Guardian, “It’s hard to talk about it, but I would consider myself to be someone that has very much struggled with body image, and eating, and feeling guilty and shameful of the things that I eat.” He’s not the only one — not by a long shot. A third of the 30 million people who suffer from eating disorders are male, a fact we rarely hear about it because of the stigma and shame surrounding eating disorders in men, says therapist Brian Pollack, clinical director of the treatment center Hilltop Behavioral Health....
