they had a "career day" as part of the summer reading program at our local public library a few months ago, and ever since then my three-year-old has been telling me she wants to be mechanic. Previously she had said she wanted to be a farmer. Just this week the two of us were talking about how most farmers are mechanics too because they have to fix their own tractors. #work #kids #daughter #library #career

Riddle:
Although proportionally much smaller,
My little sister’s ten times taller
And loves to play at my vocation.
The power of articulation
Positions me in any pose
And shows off all my pretty clothes
And gives illusion that I’m real
And skews her sense of sex appeal.
What am I?

I find it fascinating how "#science" handles #DigitalCitizenship differently, depending on the the age of the studied group.
With #kids, it seems mostly concerned with educating them how to be a "good person", fluently taking care of themselves and others. With #adults, it's mostly about "digital literacy" and "participation".
I did not find too much scientific material, so far, studying citizens that take more extreme courses of action, in the digital sphere. Any pointers?

This week I hooked up an Airtag to my 7yo nephews backpack as he has a history of losing stuff. I connected it to one of the zippers with a durable Keychain that can be easily unhooked. The smart part of my brain kept screaming that something silly would happen, but I ignored. The first thing he did when he got to school was unhook it to bring with him to recess because he was afraid he would decide to wander off into the forest, and he wanted to be findable. #kids #funny #story

Do any other #parents out there have constant morning battles with their #kids (mine are 10 and 8) about clothes? Specifically, about them not throwing on some dirty stuff they had on yesterday and that clearly is convered in muck and stink?
I just dont understand it!
It's every-single-day!
Like how can you forget the same conversation we had yesterday about exactly this issue at exactly this time of day? And then get angry at ME for pointing it out?
And it's not like they dont have clean clothes! They have plenty! They just want to wear the same grotty active wear again and again and again!
And I'm yelled at for telling them to change...again!
I dont even know where they hide the clothes to put them on again! Like with mister 8 I checked his room last night after he went to sleep! He still came down wearing the same manky training shirt from yesterday! HOW!?!?
Kids break my brain!

After getting off the bus the first thing my youngest does is toss his backpack aside and asked to go out and either ride his bike or go on his foot-powered kick scooter or, as we get into fall, go play in the woods. It brings me such joy to see him so active. Yes he does his fair share of Xbox but his true love is being outside. #parenting #kids #outdoors

#Florida Republicans Pass Bill Allowing #Trans Kids to Be Removed From Their Families
"This is just the latest anti-trans bill passed in the state, but it’s among the most dangerous.
(...)
If it becomes law, the bill will allow the state to take custody of a child if they have been “subjected to or [are] threatened with being subjected to” gender-affirming care, which includes puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy. Florida courts could modify custody agreements from a different state if the minor is likely to receive gender-affirming care in that second state. The text refers to gender-affirming care as “sex-reassignment prescriptions or procedures” and qualifies this care as a form of “physical harm"

Having a child does not equate to having a possession to do with as you wish. Having children comes with responsibility. Responsibility to feed, clothe and provide a safe environment to grow, to ensure the physical and mental health needs are met. Sharing your DNA does not guarantee your offspring is going to resemble you in any way. Parents' responsibility is to nurture, guide and support kids as they mature, discover and become their best selves.

Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes rose in kids after covid pandemic began. Type 2 rose 62%.
I wrote an article about Barbie after an interview with psychiatrist/cultural theorist Dr. Jeanne Randolph for the #MedicalPost/#CanadianHealthcare Network. It's free for #doctors, #pharmacists in #Canada. But here are few salient paragraphs.
"Dr. Randolph is both a #psychiatrist and a cultural theorist who uses a psychoanalytic lens when looking at icons such as Barbie. Studying #Barbie provokes questions about toys' contribution to the #health and ethics in #kids.
Indeed, back in the 1990s, she wrote a chapter for a book, Consuming Fashions: Adorning the Trans-National Body, that included details of a small study she conducted investigating how girls treated their Barbie dolls. The book itself included historical psychological and anthropological aspects of fashion.
What she found in wasn’t pretty.
Indeed, it was common for girls to cut off Barbie’s hair, paint them, poke or burn holes in them, twist their head around backwards, remove limbs, or even swap their head with other dolls.
But, she told the Medical Post, it's healthy for young kids to express aggressive or sadistic behaviours through their toys. It helps them cope with, and understand, their aggression in the long run—better than keeping it all bottled up and having it expressed in something real.
One moment, Barbie is a super model, an ideal parent or a brilliant astronaut, the next she might be beating up other toys, joining a biker gang, or holding up banks. Young kids learn about themselves and the world around them through play, she said.
For a long time, Barbie was marketed with an image of femininity that was devoid of aggression.
Barbie represented a huge cultural shift when she was first introduced in 1959. Prior to that, girls were given dolls that looked like babies, making their play limited to that as moms or caregivers—a fact the new movie points out.
Barbie was the first adult doll girls could identify with, Dr. Randolph said. They could expand the roles they played—except she was presented an exaggerated version of some idealized female form with her tall, slender proportions.
“In a way, Barbie was asking for it. It’s like the Barbie doll is so perfect, so unrealistic that she incited children to resent her or to be anxious because she’s not real,” she said. Hence some of the destructive behaviour.
Yet doing things like removing a Barbie’s head doesn’t mean a child will grow up a sociopath. Often, it’s just because the heads are easy to remove, and more of an exploration of how things work.
When she wrote about Barbie for that book chapter in the 1990s, Dr. Randolph wanted to include a picture of the doll. She looked for an advertising image that showed some aggression in Barbie, but the best she could find was an image of a fishing Barbie holding a large, plastic dead fish. The fish had a smile on it.
She wrote the toy company that produced Barbie for permission to use the image.
“I got a letter back from Mattel’s lawyers. They had read my chapter all about sadism and about how Barbie is asking for it, the doll is too perfect. They said I should seek legal council. They said they entirely rejected the negativity of this chapter and that Barbie is a valuable product which they did not want to be seen in this light,” she said.
There was always a disconnect between how Barbie was marketed and how little girls played with her.
The chapter was published, and the letter from Mattel was included in its entirety in a footnote.
However, the new Barbie movie showed a turnabout in recognition of the dichotomy Barbie represents. It acknowledged the imaginary, perfect world Barbie comes from, the cultural impact of Barbie dolls, that in real-life Barbies are mistreated, that many kids have cynical attitudes about Barbie, and also that some people love her.
“The movie is exactly what you would hope for in terms of the image and the humanity of women,” she said. The #feminist messages are strong, with powerful satirical punch towards #patriarchy."

Reading a heartbreaking thread on a local #parenting page about how to teach #children to be afraid of streets, because streets are not #safe.
We do not have to accept--and force our #kids to accept--that #streets are not safe. This is problem created entirely by a mentality that driving is the most sacred use of public space.
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. We created this problem; it's up to us--not our children--to fix it.

@razze @digitalcourage Das Buch richtet sich an Erwachsene, denn i.d.R. entscheiden nicht die Kinder, ob Videokameras installiert werden. Für Kinder wären die Texte zu Grundrechten und Gesetzen zu schwierig. Für Jugendliche ab 12/13 würde es aber gehen.

Why have we basically made it #illegal to be a kid in #public?
#Kids cannot be outside without their parents constantly watching them, they cannot play on the #street (because we made them too dangerous) or even sidewalks in some #cities, and even loitering (existing in public) is illegal in many places. We've made kid-friendly #transportation such as bicycles, skateboards, and rollerblades illegal in many places. It's no wonder why kids are rarely found #outside anymore.

The Right Wing Anti-Trans Media's Obsession With Parents' Rights — Assigned (by @e_urq, 2022)
"What’s really alarming about this parents' rights movement is that it seeks to decouple parental rights from ideas about a child’s best interests, arguing instead that whether or not vaccines are safe and effective, a parent’s right to have complete control in decision making should allow them to override their child’s best interest."

We've been trying to get the 6yo to sleep for nearly an hour. The little psychopath has just jumped out of bed with the energy of a nuclear reactor to announce he wants to tidy his bedroom. Something he categorically refuses to participate in on a regular basis.
A few weeks ago I talked about classdojo.com, a site for schools/teachers that sent me a link to "my" account - it was for a child in England, not my child, their security sucks, this site is trash. I wrote to the school AND the website about it.
FYI, they're now sending me updates about "my" child. Photos, names, info, everything. Also? Kid's actual mom seems to also have an account now - I was alerted when she signed up!
DO NOT USE CLASSDOJO.COM
Question for #Parents - my daughter is 5 so obviously I've put #Linux on my old computer for her. So far she likes SuperTux, TuxCart, TuxRacer, the OLPC Sugar activities, the Untitled Goose Game (via Wine), ClassicCube (a lite Minecraft clone), and painting in Krita.
She is just learning to read, any recommendations? #Kids #AskFedi

#German 🇩🇪 of #Ukrainian 🇺🇦 origin, born and grew up in #Ukraine, now residing and researching in #Czechia 🇨🇿 .
[If you can speak German 🇩🇪 with me, please do this - I had no chance to learn the language in my family because of damned #soviet #communist rule and its nationalistic repressions, but I really intend to combat this issue.]
#Scientist . More precisely, #chemist ⚗️ (#Electrochemistry, #Nanoscience, Coordination Chemistry of 3d metals, #Quantum Chemistry calculations ⚛️). #PhD in Physical Chemistry.
#Cisgender #heterosexual #white #male. #Married, no #kids, a #dog.
Voluntarily #Lutheran ✝️ .
#Linuxoid. #Mint, #RaspberryPiOS. #Debian in anamnesis; Fedora/CentOS - in primordial times. #Android on #rugged #smartphones. High performance computing on desktops (#Orca, #CP2K).
#Paranoid. Enthusiastic about #XMPP, #Jami and similar privacy-aware stuff, as well as about reviving of some unfairly forgotten technologies like #Gopher and #RSS (yes, I intentionally put them in one line - maybe a bit sarcastically, but still sadly).
Eventually writing on #Python 🐍 . Enthusiast of modern #Fortran, but so far without extra time to seriously involve, unfortunately. Some #Arduino and #RaspberryPi #GPIO stuff.
#DYI at home 🛠️ .
#Gothic music.
#Filmphotography 🎞️ and #photography 📷 in general. #Biking 🚲 (currently without a bike -- left in Ukraine), #hiking ⛺ , #rafting 🛶 (proudly with travels along 10 rivers in UA on a rubber boat with a friend), #stargazing 🔭 🌌 (currently suspended - the #telescope left in UA, the #binocular donated to Territorial Defense Forces of #Kyiv).
Eventual #DX #radio 📻 (I really believe #AM radio is to be saved as a safety and anti-censorship measure).
A partially related pic for visual pleasure and attention attraction.
