| “It’s so important for their development and they enjoy it!” |
| It’s part of a parent’s job to help kids enjoy being kids while they can. At the same time, it’s extremely beneficial to teach them certain “adult” tasks while they’re still young. This can help them see everything from cleaning to budgeting as a fun, life-affirming activity, rather than a mandatory chore. Which research shows can, in turn, set them up for way more happiness and success once they do reach adulthood. |
| And that’s why mom and child development expert Sophie Zee is hosting a video of her ten-month-old helping with household chores like laundry and loading the dishwasher. It’s her way of reminding other parents just how capable their young children are. |

| The scared little girl didn’t even notice the film crew. |
| There’s not much scarier for a parent or child than to temporarily lose sight of each other. Kids do all sorts of things that they may find funny that can give their parents a mini panic attack. Nearly every person has taken their turn hiding in a clothes rack at their local department store as a child, momentarily giving your parent a fright. |
| But sometimes it’s not just a quick break in visual contact. Sometimes parent and child find themselves separated for more than a few seconds while in public. That’s when panic sets in as both parties frantically search for the other. One mom and daughter found themselves in this very scary situation while at Anne Loftus Playground in New York City while Mariska Hargitay was filming an episode of Law & Order: SVU. |

| “Sports. I get it. It’s entertainment. But calm down. You aren’t on the team.” |
| When we take a look at humanity, there are countless things we take seriously, that may not matter in the grand scheme of things. Many of us also have a soft spot for ideas that aren’t exactly scientific. |
| The key idea is that no one is immune from taking something seriously that others may think is a waste of time. But, to each their own or vive la différence as the French put it. |
| A Redditor who goes by the username Hogw33d asked the AskReddit forum, “What is something you can’t believe real grownup people take seriously?” Many people responded that they don’t understand how some people can invest so much time and energy into things they deem frivolous. |

| The heroic deed was caught on video. |
| Natasha Long, a mother in Pennsylvania, is calling Taco Bell Manager Becky Arbaugh her “guardian angel” after she saved her 11-month-old son who stopped breathing. Long was out running some errands with her son when she pulled into a Taco Bell drive-thru in Richboro when she realized that something was wrong. |
| “I ran out of the car and ran around and opened the car door,” Long told ABC affiliate WPVI. “I pulled him out and he turned completely blue and was lifeless. At that point, I just completely blacked out. I didn’t know what to do.” |
