  5. The #Tweens Down Under: Life Without #SocialMedia in #Australia

    As Australia rolls out a ban on social media for kids under 16, tech companies face steep fines and teens face life without #TikTok , #Instagram , and other platforms. Will it work?

  6. PsyPost: Teens as young as 12 see OnlyFans as an appealing alternative to traditional work, study finds. “A new study published in the journal Sexuality & Culture has found that many adolescents in Spain, including those as young as 12, are not only aware of OnlyFans but also see it as a viable and even empowering way to make money.” Ugh.

  9. Another #TeacherJoy story:
    As a very young teacher of a before-school maths extension program, I had a small group of ~9 to 12 year olds with two very enthusiastic and boisterous best buddy boys.

    Since I was not a school teacher, but employed externally, *and* the group was voluntary, I wasn't going for traditional school discipline, but a basic level of engagement and learning.

    I regularly threatened to separate the two best buddies, and this threat always got them to settle down.

    Half-way through the term another young boy joined us. Alone and carrying a lot of anger, it was clear this kid was in trouble a lot.
    He was mostly ok in the class - voluntary, fun, challenging maths puzzles - who wouldn't be? but sometimes struggled to follow instructions or bothered the others.

    During one of the sessions, the new kid, alone as usual, was doing (or not-doing) something the rest of the group noticed as non-compliant.

    Since it is clearly against the Rules(TM) to allow a classmate to get away with behaviour you would be chastised for, the two buddies gleefully started shouting

    "Separate him, Miss. Separate him!"

    To this day I don't know what they thought that meant - I fear that all term they must imagined I was threatening to rend them limb from limb!

    Using the correct strict face was totally beyond me! I was laughing so hard I had to turn away and face the board!

    I still wonder what they told their parents about me. It gave me a lasting appreciation for the effectiveness of violent-sounding but clearly ridiculous and impossible threats as a class management tool.

  10. If you're still getting to grips with what "rizz" is and are astonished when your 11-year-old calls you "bro," @SheKnowscom is here to help with a guide to tween and teen slang (no, you can't actually use it, but it might help you understand what the hellyante your child is saying). Just for fun, which of these expressions do you think we made up? Tell us in the comments what your favorite slang word is.

  11. Poynter: Kids are consuming news — but not often through news apps, study finds. “While many young people turn to trusted outlets like CNN or The Associated Press during major news events, they don’t regularly use news apps, a new study found. Only about one in nine 11- to 13-year-olds said they regularly get their news this way, according to the Life in Media Survey led by Dr. Justin […]

  12. Gizmodo: TikTok Will Try to Lull Kids to Sleep to Stop Endless Scrolling. “It’s 10pm, do you know where your children are? Odds are they are probably in their room scrolling on TikTok, but at least now you can rest assured that the app is taking steps to make them listen to lo-fi beats to chill to. TikTok announced that it will be introducing a new feature for users under the age of 16 that […]

  13. @[email protected] PBS Newshour classroom has a whole section on Media Literacy. One of the lesson plans at top of page is on AI & misinformation
    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/classroom/subjects/media-literacy

    They also put out some lesson plans every week on current news stories that generally include in the discussion questions about who was included in this story/ EXCLUDED from this story and how reliable sources are.

    You may also want to look at their student reporting lab which is reporting BY students, which may be easier for tweens to connect to as its being done by students only a few years older
    https://studentreportinglabs.org/
    The resources for that also include toolkit on introducing students to HOW to report, which can be useful for coming at literacy from an entirely different direction as now they know how the sausage is made

  14. The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien

    > At that time Frodo was still in his *tweens*, as the hobbits called the irresponsible twenties between childhood and coming of age at thirty-three.

  15. I feel bad for #Tweens and #Teens today. They have it way worse than we did. #Smartphones and #TargetedAdvertising is making #PeerPressure even worse!!! And all those "smells" can't be good for kids -- especially ones with #asthma

    What Is #Smellmaxxing—And Why Are Tween and Teen Boys Into It?

    Walk into a middle school classroom and you'll know.

    "As a mom of three daughters, it came as a surprise to me to learn that it’s not just girls who are spending mega money at #Sephora. Of course, it used to make my jaw drop when one of my teens asked for an $80 Drunk Elephant face serum, but now I’m barely phased by the lineup of pricey products that line their vanities."

    How Parents Can Help Teens Feeling the Pressure of 'Smellmaxxing'

    "When it comes to any top-dollar trend teens are desperate to get in on, there’s going to be some give and take with parents. I’ll often joke to my kids that if they want to eat too, I can’t buy all of their clothes at Lululemon. A few wardrobe staples are more realistic. The same is true of our Sephora shopping trips. I’ll say 'yes' to a Sol de Janeiro spray, but the Charlotte Tilbury $100 Magic Cream is a 'no.'

    "Of course, they are welcome to spend their babysitting or birthday money on whatever they want—but not without my input on whether it’s a good use of their hard-earned cash. After all, in my opinion, they are beautiful just the way they are, without all the expensive #makeup and #skincare.

    "Dr. Yip says it’s never too early to talk about family values, which are different for all of us. 'While we might be influenced by other kids, we still have to maintain our family values,' she recommends telling teens.

    "Jordan says this trend is a great opportunity to talk with kids about #FinancialLiteracy and #budgeting [and CAPITALISM]. 'Ask, ‘Would you rather save up for months to get one bottle of fancy cologne or spend it on a concert ticket?’ Get them to see the importance of spending money on experiences versus things,' she advises. "

  16. The #tweens asked for an #Easter #eggHunt today. I am happy to oblige, of course, but they seem surprised that I didn’t set them up with a softball “in plain sight” kind of egg hunt. So far, we are at 27 minutes and counting in a search for a dozen eggs each.

  17. Currently working on an #IK walk system, because I'm to lazy to animate :godot:

    I like the janky look of it but I hope using #tweens in this will improve it a bit.

  18. Adorable thing about tweens: they'll give you big hugs and be all needy while also saying "urgh oh my god I hate you". Embracing the turmoil and mixed messages! #parenting #tweens

  19. Made dinner for 11 and I. She ate all of it. Growth spurts are gonna be the death of me. #tweens

  20. I’ve got three 11 year olds in my kitchen right now, trying to make cookies by themselves, and listening to their failures is pretty hilarious (even though I’m trying to work…)

    Their first surprise was when I said I didn’t have eggs or butter, lol

    Nevertheless, they persist 😬

  21. Oh boy. This sleepover isn't going to end well. My kid is hiding because she doesn't want anyone to see she is in tears. Her bff, is ignoring her. #tweens

  22. Dentist this morning. Then it's the last day with the girls and I get a night to breathe. Maybe. Will kiddo make it away from me? It's anyone's guess. She has been way more snuggle willing than I expected in front of the bff.
    Praying she makes it, but I worry.
    11 is coming face to face with the fact they're now very different girls with different priorities. Mine is about relationships, people, & imagination. The other is not. #tweens #friendship
