Primary school pupils should be given ice lollies in science lessons to ensure learning is grounded in engaging real-life experiences, a coalition of scientific associations has said. A new primary science curriculum should be introduced which offers a series of “essential experiences” in class so all children have opportunities to relate to scientific concepts, according to a report. The Royal Society of Chemistry, Institute of Physics, Royal Society of Biology and Association for Science Education have published recommendations for reforming the primary school curriculum in a bid to reduce i...

Sabra Brucker works as an executive assistant. Her husband, Dagan, is a fifth-generation farmer in Cropsey, Illinois, about 100 miles south of Chicago. After many years of infertility and miscarriages, they finally became the parents of four young children: Addison, born in 2017; Andi, born in 2019; and twins Aiden and Arie, born prematurely in March 2021. The Brucker family had never previously endured a run-in with child protective services. A series of medical complications involving the younger twin, Aiden, suddenly changed that. After the parents sought care for their sick child, they wer...

Chicago (AFP) - For better or worse, politics has always been a family affair for President Joe Biden, and his emotional farewell at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago is no exception. First, his wife and fierce defender Jill Biden, the 73-year-old first lady, will take to the stage on Monday to speak about a presidency she reportedly believes was unfairly cut short. Then their daughter Ashley, 43, will ascend the podium to give an introduction to the speech by her 81-year-old father in front of thousands of delegates from the party that just pushed him out. Only after that will the...

Learning how to ride a bike marks a big milestone in a young child's life. But at what age are they ready for it? There's no hard-and-fast rule, says Nico Langenbeck from German consumer organization Stiftung Warentest. The child should have developed a sense of balance and good motor skills, and for some kids, that means they are ready to learn to ride a bike at 3 years old, while for others it might take until they are four or five years old. Another indicator that your child is ready to learn cycling is when they start showing an interest in bikes, says cycling awareness campaigner Thomas G...

Happy Tuesday and welcome to another family-friendly edition of Rent Free. This week's lead story takes a look at whether a YIMBY policy agenda of reducing regulation on new housing construction will help or hurt people's willingness to start families. Housing Boom = Baby Bust? America's low birth rate is in the news again, thanks largely to Vice Presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance's (R–Ohio) resurfaced comments criticizing America's anti-family "childless cat lady" ruling class, as well as his various policy proposals—from higher taxes on the childless to more votes for parents—to get Amer...

In a matter of days, the easygoing vibe of summer break will be replaced with the rigid schedules of a new school year. The transition isn't always easy, even for kids who are eager to return to the classroom. And if children are nervous about a new teacher, new school, or the prospect of making new friends, things can be even more fraught. With summer break drawing to a close, The Times spoke with psychologists about how parents can help their children embrace a back-to-school mindset. Here's their advice: Don't wait until the last minute to talk about the new school year Instead of having on...

Playgrounds highlight two parental extremes. At one end are parents who, so long as they're undisturbed while engrossed in their smartphone, couldn't care less if their offspring swipes other kids' buckets and sand shovels or shoves them around on a climbing frame. At the other are those who watch over their brood like a hawk, accompany their every move and always have a steadying hand on them when they're climbing. Most parents fall somewhere between these two extremes, of course, but experts say the number of overprotective parents seems to have grown in recent years, and that this may be ad...
