What we’re reading today:
1. If we tell little girls they’re pretty, will they start to think that their appearance is the most important thing?
2. Should you raise your kids to be nerdy? CNN’s LZ Granderson says society places too much importance on athletics and people are taught to look down on the smart kids. Instead, Granderson says we need to take academics a little more seriously.
3. Kids between the ages of 3-5 who watch scary and/or violent TV right before bed have trouble sleeping. (So do we!)
4. Mombian is proud of LGBT parents and the kids of LGBT parents. It’s been a pretty great year for inspiring kids and stories and bringing conversation about queer families into the mainstream. Let’s keep it up! Happy Pride!
5. Candy is good for you. Kind of. Like, don’t eat Twizzlers for dinner or anything, but treats are OK.
