Dads are not known for being prolific texters. While there are exceptions to the rule, we suspect that all dads have, at some point, received secret instructions to only respond with “OK.”

In news that will surprise few but still alarm many, a study has found that kids 2-5 years old who engage in more screen time received worse scores in developmental screening tests. The apparent explanation is simple: when a kid is in front of a screen, they’re not talking, walking, or playing, the activities by which basic skills are cultivated.

Not even mother nature can come between a child and their new toy.
One dedicated dad in Alaska was forced to brave a formidable sheet of ice on the family’s driveway in order to bring his three-year-old a toy kitchen she’d been looking forward to getting for quite some time.
After a bunch of freezing rain fell on their small town outside of Anchorage, everything was covered in a thick layer of ice — including little Adalynn’s new toy that was in the back of the family’s truck. Her dad, Kyle, went on a rescue mission, which led to him sliding all over their driveway and into the street.
