    Parent portals enable parents to access important information about their children, which can significantly enhance their learning progress.

  13. I found this smartphone alternative with no social media, internet browser, or many apps that would be harmful to kids.

  14. As a new mom, having seasoned mom friends can be amazing for support, guidance, connection, and community.

  15. This is such an amazing idea. Most new moms are overwhelmed, and many have nowhere to turn for support or advice.

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-push-amend-constitution-16-year-olds-vote

  25. Children are also citizens. Therefore, there is no valid reason why they should be denied the right to vote and voice their opinions.

  30. While learning to code early can be beneficial, it is a mentally draining experience, which can put too much pressure on children.
    https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/12/against-teaching-kids-to-code-creativity-problem-solving.html

  31. Scientists do agree. You only need to make fruits and vegetables fun and appealing to make kids eat them more.
    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/renaming-fruits-and-vegetables_n_1891562

  32. Sounds interesting. A Facebook app could link in with a site like the one I am linking to, which would inform others who just had a baby the same day and time as you did. Then put and keep you in touch via the app. Probably wouldn’t be too difficult for a decent app developer either.

  33. in a group of 23 people, you will have a 50% chance of sharing a birthday with them. Though this requires a lot more people if including your birth year also. Not sure why the baby’s date would be more significant than some other random people from elsewhere. Would be interesting if sociologists could predict the eventual standing of kids born in different countries, on the same date though – would it be any closer than astrological predictions?

  34. Stella

    These guys do a pop party service in the UK. Sounds awful though, not for my kids thanks.

  35. WANT!

  36. These are sooooo expensive for a ball of fluff.

  37. This is likely on it’s way. Not sure if it needs AI to find prospective parents though as the database of people who are willing to adopt is likely pretty small. This is worth a read though, AI could help potentially.

  38. Lol reminds me of this alternative solution “Residents of New Taipei City in Taiwan were offered a lottery ticket for every bag of poo they handed in. Officials collected 14,500 bags from 4,000 people, with the scheme said to have halved the amount of excrement in the city.”

  39. Noisy kids, noisy TVs? Weirdly this article misses the spot completely as Sarah and Duck is one of the quietest programmes on the BBC. Sure, American sensationalist, adventure romps are action-packed and loud. Doesn’t have to be tht way though.

  40. More problematic is the loud audio from background music which drowns out the sound of the dialog. Kids voices compete with that and everything gets louder and louder in an audiological arms race. Here’s some possible solutions in the answers on Quora.

  41. You can actually still get your hands on coal. It’s just a bit posh though since Thatcher.

  42. Using its proprietary “pricing engine,” Upstart lets you invest $20,000 for every one percent of future income you are willing to give up.

  43. Yes in an ideal world this is a good idea I think. However, teachers choose the grade they are most comfortable with. Which kind of makes sense.

  44. GREAT TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS THIS IS A GOOD IDEA – FIINALLY. Read this article https://www.chalkbeat.org/2018/3/21/21104540/elementary-school-teachers-sometimes-follow-a-class-of-students-from-year-to-year-new-research-sugge

  45. Nice idea. One that plays a tune when being used might help. Oh and check they are not just tired or watching tv at mealtimes. More tips here.

  46. This – highly recommended. Get hold of your child without them having access to the web and games.

  47. Nice, and these for older children?

  48. these exist, you can make all sorts of stuff out of food already.

  49. This?

  50. Ha, that pic reminds me of these https://www.boredpanda.com/shoes-cars-design-inspiration-niek-for-speed/

  51. Lol, just don’t scare your kids. These are amazing but weird.

  52. …or donate them to hospitals, nurseries and charity shops – all better than recycling them. Reuse is the key here.

  53. I Never thought of this, good idea. looks like fun for kids.

  54. These take it to another level. amazing.

  55. I like this idea better, just do it yourself. https://www.getawaytoday.com/travel-blog/create-your-own-super-hero-training-camp

  56. I like the idea of paramedic camps, not so much those that turn normal kids into cops though. Why? Same as the existing problem of recruiting cops, it attracts exactly the wrong type of person we need.

  57. Gove on his-story… ““There may, for all I know, be rival Whig and Marxist schools fighting a war of interpretation in chemistry or food technology, but their partisans don’t tend to command much column space in the broadsheets”.” https://www.economist.com/britain/2020/07/02/changing-history-teaching

  58. I like this tip – “One Step at a Time: From Family History to Your Country’s Founding” and progress from there.

  59. Kids need to learn about trading as much as they do about saving. The world needs to catch up with what is happening. Some kids are already winners, as this article mentions.

  60. This would be good. Especially if they were taught how to manage their shares, similar to how schools invite banks in to teach them about saving money etc. This book looks a good book for those who want to give their kids the extra opportunity of trading.

  61. There’s also an airplane spoon.

  62. I like this guy’s simple design, it would work on their pushchair or almost anywhere. and agreed, its a gimbal not a gyro anything.

  63. I like the look of these, not sure if they are spongey though.

  64. Richard P

    Reminds me of this, where you can play properly and learn the piano on the cheap.

  65. THESE?

  66. You can get them on Etsy, but no you can’t name which book you want. maybe if they let you upload a pic of a book cover and the name you want on it, or even let you change the title a bit? would be a great idea for an existing manufacturer who do pillow printing already.

  67. We use one of these that gets reviewed here, but it does cause arguments – the reason is, the kids know that we want them to communicate with their friends, especially during lock-down.

  68. There’s an app for that

  69. richb

    Phone jail? 😀

  70. Mike

    Online Gambling sites for international children’s charities should be a thing. Who cares that you can’t do it in the US. The rest of the world spend heaps on online gambling and this money could go where it is needed. Some big charities should get together with online gambling sites and set one up, they are missing a trick and a stack of money they could have a nice slice of.

  71. djloon

    Nice idea, I wonder why these are not a thing. You can hire a Casino in Las Vagas, but something tells me, they get to keep all the money that comes into the machines. Someone like Musk, Bezos or Gates should set one up for irradiating children’s diseases, or a whole holiday park that collects money to solve the world’s problems. I would go to that rather than Disney.

  72. The health lottery is as close as you will get in the UK.Though its legal to do fun runs and bingo nights lol – doesn’t compare with the entire industry of casinos for private profit. The health lottery is a first step though I guess.

  73. 23% of all homeless people are children – Our world sucks ass. We have had plenty enough time to sort this out in each and every country. Not going to happen.

  74. You would be missing a lot of trade if you did this. Problem is that it’s tolerated. From wiki “Street children can be found in a large majority of the world’s famous cities, with the phenomenon more prevalent in densely populated urban hubs of developing or economically unstable regions, such as countries in Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia.”

  75. Good idea, plus make when they fix their ways and you start to trade with them again, increase the tariff and donate a share of it to Save the Children – an publicise it, they should be ashamed.

  76. Hey babies, if you don’t like America… Get the hell out, somehow.

  77. It already exists Khan Academy, only those parents need to understand what they don’t understand first – and that often uncovers huge gaps in their knowledge – something the kids can identify better than the well-meaning parents. Some good resources are here, but use them wisely, kids usually benefit from many different teachers with different skills, making your kid rely on just your skillset is going to put them at a disadvantage for sure.

  78. The ScienceShow videos are perfect for this. Donate to them if you want or just teach your kids with their content for free.

  79. In the states, these crimes are being tackled by initiatives that confuse crime with civil rights. It’s crime.

  80. Didn’t realise it was an early AI… “One of the most ingenious aspects of Pac-Man is that each ghost behaves differently—one simply chases the player, two try to attack Pac-Man from the front, while the fourth will chase and then abruptly change course.

    It was tricky because the monster movements are quite complex,” Iwatani said. “This is the heart of the game … The AI in this game impresses me to this day!”

  81. Teachers need to up their game – like anybody who could be replaced by an AI or bot. time to get smart, or enjoy the cushy job you currently have, Times are a changing.

  82. Asians have taken to this idea because they have huge classes, strict dicipline and education really matters to the future of the entire family. Not here though… “Mr Steed said he did not think the developments would catch on in UK schools in the short-term, claiming the nation was too wedded to the traditional concept of a teacher standing in front of a class.”

  83. in the uk you can hire entire schools – even exclusive ones, so I guess the elite are already doing so.

  84. Ahh, man, just googled it and you can actually use their facilities all over the UK. Clubs should know about this – why don’t the schools advertise it to parents?

  85. Little about it on the web tbh – but…”Humans are the only primates that make music. But the evolutionary origins and functions of music are…”

  86. Like this idea, and thought about it myself with our boy. Couldn’t find anything on the web about kids doing the audio track for their games but it is a thing, and a good thing too… https://www.brighthorizons.com/family-resources/music-and-children-rhythm-meets-child-development#:~:text=Music%20ignites%20all%20areas%20of,and%20the%20mind%20work%20together.&text=Dancing%20to%20music%20helps%20children,them%20to%20practice%20self%2Dexpression.

  87. A bigger worry is that they end up with a complex about money or miss out due to the pressure of saving for some far off future. There are 2 sides to every story but its sure true that we are messing with their heads, without realising it.

  88. They exist already – good idea tbh. My boy has trouble with his buckle belt.

  89. LOL, may not be used much by kids of Indian dads who wanted a boy rather than a girl.

  90. Bless ST Johns – saving lives and now they are teaching our kids how to do the stuff we should have learned ourselves. Bravo.

  91. Finally- this is a thing in the UK “Trials of first aid lessons in English schools begin this month, with the classes becoming compulsory from 2020.

    A total of 1,600 schools from around the country are taking part.”

  92. Genital mutilation as it is called when its a girl. Crazy world, yep the surgeon should have the same done to them by a bunch of religious nutters from another faith.

  93. Protect the children from abuse – unless its in the name of God. THE US IS FUCKED UP.

  94. Barbaric is the word. Can’t believe its legal outside of Israel.

  95. Unfortunately this is still just an idea/dream for many “2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services. (WHO/UNICEF 2019)”

  96. urr, nope! “in Darwinian theory, grandparenting makes no sense! Grandparents contribute no ‘fitness genes’ to the grandchildren.” https://crev.info/2019/03/no-grandparents-are-not-products-of-evolution/

  97. True, I like this idea – makes sense. Furthermore, it’s grandparents that can help ensure you survive to pass THEIR genes on.

  98. Needs to be done – the reason it is still so bad is because school menus are designed by fat old ladies who have little education themselves. Shoot me, but its true. Read on… Researchers from the Jamie Oliver Foundation were alarmed to find many schools are still serving high fat and sugary foods at break and lunch

  99. We already do this, but rather than core them, we just cut the top off and scoop them out – then decorate. But whilst looking at corers, I noticed what a faff people go to just to core an apple. All you need is a regular tube or corer, not all the gubbins seen here https://www.technobuffalo.com/uk/best-apple-corers

  100. Can’t believe schools don’t test for this already. People need to know if their child is gifted. More discussion here https://forums.abrsm.org/?showtopic=22672#:~:text=If%20a%20child%20learns%20music,referring%20to%20any%20other%20tone.

    “If a child learns music faster than others, then he/she may have perfect pitch. It means he/she can recognise the tones correctly and immediately, like when he/she sees a number or colour. He/she may even be able to sing any tone (e.g. F# in 2nd octave) immediately without referring to any other tone.”

  101. I get it that kids are guided by their parents, but sometimes you hear of kids that have the get up and go to do good stuff all on their own. This charity thing the kid does by giving food to those that need it, is what reminds me always to respect young people, they are part of the world and more eager to fix the crap caused by those that came before them. Well done kids. Please donate to stuff like this if you agree. https://www.gofundme.com/f/liamslunchesoflove

  103. Big in America though. Buy them online. Not for babies though. So yeah, still needed.

  104. This can’t last long enough to warrant the weird design, surely?

  105. This for hippies that wear sandals, I guess – glad it helps poor kids though.

  106. Yeah, dripstix do the job

  107. …early days but one day we will be listening to AI music without realising it – and of course it will be better than our music because of machine learning.

  108. Toybox is one for kids. not sure how well they come out though, anyone know?

  109. Somehow, I think photos would work better than these silly ones they sell.

  110. There are loads of uses for these, I can’t wait to hear what people use them for. Local guy…

    Dr Diego Martinez Plasencia, a Lecturer in the Interact Lab at the University of Sussex’s School of Engineering and Informatics, said: “This has the potential to enable new forms of interaction and collaboration with computers, liberating users from fixed, static screens and opening up whole new interactive spaces.

  111. there’s this on product hunt but it doesn’t use feedback from your kid, yet.

  112. Got these, the kind of work.

  113. Not true, over simplistic and well, just missleading, here’s why its a bad idea to think you can only be as happy as your saddest child…

    A clinically depressed child will be much sadder than even a highly empathetic parent because typical, reactive unhappiness and sadness cannot be compared with the profound distress of major depression.

  114. ….dream on AirTots 57 quid to borrow a baby bath and stand for 4 weeks. No wonder folk just buy them or go elsewhere to hire.

  116. An amazing idea for upcycling old clothes.

  117. Lol, I ticked all 10 boxes, I guess I am a winner at something then!

  118. Hmm, a party in the street and a day off school, who wouldn’t join in. Clever.

  120. I need one of these. Is this the only product online, or can you buy them elsewhere? Don’t like Amazon btw.
