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 […]

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 […]

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. "

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.
