#kids — Public Fediverse posts

It's very simple. Instead of letting #kids use the internet, set up a #national intranet that allow indirect identification on a network level. Then create services that just filters out what kids shouldn't have access to.

Trying to put any form of identification online is a risk, and nothing says the power behind identification can't be abused. It's a big fat promise with no real assurance.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ☀️🧴 A #JAMA #Dermatology meta-analysis pooled 17 studies covering more than 321,000 people and found that a history of painful, blistering sunburns raised the odds of squamous cell carcinoma by 51% to 69%, with severe #childhood burns linked to up to three times the risk.

Researchers caution that the evidence is uncertain because it relies on people recalling past burns. The study reinforces #sun protection such as Slip, Slop, Slap for #kids and #teens.

Conflicted

I am conflicted and I always get into this state when the kids are involved.

When my step daughter moved away to college in 2019 I was conflicted. On the one hand, I wanted her to go away to school and have a fantastic experience and learn a ton and make new friends and start her life and have everything be amazing. On the other hand I wanted her to stay home with us forever.

Two years later when my step son went away to college it was the same thing. I wanted him to go to school and have the time of his life and learn incredible things and have adventures and excitement and make memories that would last a lifetime while also not wanting him to leave us, ever.

In May of 2025 my step daughter moved home. She graduated and worked a two year contract at the University. When the contract ended she came home to live with us while she figured out her next move. The next move was grad school, but she had to work out the details. It took a little more than a year, but next month she is going to start school in California. 

I am so excited for her I could burst… again… just like 2019. Just like my step son in 2021. I fear I might spontaneously combust out of excitement for her future. She’s going to finish grad school with a PHD and then every time I see her I will ask her, “what’s up, doc?” and it will be epic and no one will ever get tired of that stupid Bugs Bunny joke and we will always laugh and it will be perfect.

Also, I don’t want her to move. I mean, I thought moving from Massachusetts to Vermont was bad… California? No way!

She’ll still be here for a few more weeks, but the next milestone in the moving process happened today…

It’s time to start packing. I’m excited and sad at the same time, but what else is new?

I often optimize my paper circuits for different age groups and time frames. The Book Lamp Workshop is especially versatile with its three different switching options.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📱🧠 An eight-year Finnish #study followed 260 #children to see how physical activity and #screentime related to later cognitive processing.

More screen time correlated with better #teen cognitive performance, tied to the type of screen use rather than duration. Physical activity benefits also differed by gender, with light activity helping working #memory in #girls.

Overigens was de gastheer heel aardig en geduldig. Hij heeft ons rondgeleid en de kinderen een speurtocht gegeven. Toen ze die afhadden, heeft hij hoogstpersoonlijk een certificaat voor ze ondertekend, en mochten ze een souvenirtje met een kaart uitzoeken. Lief!

That moment when...

My little four year old neighbour saw a photo of me taken about 40 years ago and asked me why my hair was brown there.

Well that's a long story... But the amazing thing is that she recognized that it was me. That's a plus, right?

Skylight Buddy Review (2026): Kid Routines Just Got Easy

PS: I'm sure NJ was fine turning the kitchen surface into a film studio. No dangers here at all...

#SchoolBuses Still Mostly Run On #Diesel, And That Might Not Be Great For #Kids' #Health
One study from Natural Resources Defense Council, albeit from 2001, indicated that a #schoolbus passenger can be exposed to so much diesel exhaust that it's 23 to 46 times more likely they'll get #cancer. Diesel fumes are also linked to asthma and a variety of other health issues that make it harder for kids to learn, such as headaches and nausea.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧠📈 A #study of over 11,000 British #twins tracked cognitive test scores from age 4 to 21.

Only 1% of children scoring in the top tier at age 7 still scored high at 16, while just 8% of average-scoring #kids climbed into the top range. Genetic and family-education factors predicted stability most strongly, suggesting early gifted labels are an unreliable guide to #adult ability.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦷💧 A yearlong clinical #trial in #JAMA #Pediatrics tested silver diamine fluoride on more than 800 #US #children under 6 with severe cavities.

Six months after one 10-second painting, the liquid had stopped decay in 54% of treated baby #teeth, versus 22.5% in the placebo group. The #research could support #FDA approval for pediatric use and make drilling-free care an option in medical settings.
