For Extroverts: 15 Ways to Be a Better Parent to Your Introverted Kid By Jennifer Granneman You’re confused by your kid. She doesn’t act the way you did when you were growing up. She’s hesitant and reserved. Instead of diving in to play, she’d rather stand back and watch the other kids. She talks to you in fits and starts—sometimes she rambles on, te

Managing Social Media Stress With Mindfulness by Rachel Ehmke It’s hard to imagine life without social media. It has become essential to connecting with our friends, getting updates about what’s going on in the world and being entertained. We can barely remember (if we’re old enough to remember!) how we stayed in touch without it. But teens and

Activities like create new games or play popular games should not be restricted to only moments of leisure. Teachers, researchers, and educators are increasingly integrating play into their classrooms since it is an alternative that offers countless benefits to children’s learning process. Play develops children’s specific skills, needs, and traits in a lighthearted, enjoyable way. It also brings people together and, in turn, lightens up the environment, filling it with sur

Childhood is a period filled with experiences that stay in our memory. Who has never remembered a game or activity from childhood and felt nostalgic about it? The importance of these games goes beyond their being part of our affective memory. Activities that encourage creativity and result in spontaneous discoveries leave a mark in other ways as well, providing countless benefits for kids to reap later in life.

The mobile apps industry is constantly changing and growing, and one of its most important target audiences is children. Today we are going to talk about the differences between two app monetization models that can make all the difference in terms of content and kids’ lives: the Freemium and Premium (or paid) apps. What is monetization? Monetization is the strategy used by apps to earn money. There exists a number of app monetization methods: Paid apps: you pay for the apps

You have probably come across this name at least once in the last few months, hearing it from your kids, other children, or friends, even if you haven’t played it yet. Recently, analytics platform Sensor Tower published data that revealed Among Us was the most downloaded mobile game worldwide in September, for Android and iOS. All this success can be explained by a couple of things. The Covid-19 pandemic caused many countries throughout the world to practise social distancing

Mental health problems during childhood are more common than we imagine. About six to seventeen percent of children and teenagers are affected by anxiety disorder or depression. Research has identified that many children and teenagers with an anxiety disorder showed cognitive distortions, which are characterized by negative thinking patterns — in other words: when the repetitive exposure to derogatory and negative content has a negative impact on thoughts, emotions, and behav

Reading is a form of communication and the literacy rate is one of the world’s development indicators. But when it comes to children’s health and development, why is it so important?

Have you ever heard of loot boxes? They are quite similar to collectible sticker packets. Loot boxes are reward boxes in video games, computer games and app games which give the user random items that may be used in game matches. By opening one in the game, the users can find characters, weapons, clothes, costumes and even dance steps, but they never know what they might encounter, specially when there are items rarer than others. In some cases, the items that come in loot b

“When should I introduce technology to kids?” As a technology company aimed at children, we hear this question frequently from friends, family and acquaintances, whether they are parents, uncles and aunts, grandparents or people who plan on having children some day. Our first piece of advice is: don’t give children a tablet or phone before they turn 2 years old. Screen exposure to children under the age of 2 doesn’t bring any benefits and can entail on the delay of cognitiv
