Teens Are Ditching the First Car Hype

Remember when getting your first car was a rite of passage? Not so much anymore! Upper-middle-class parents are sharing that their teens just aren’t that into driving—or even owning a car. Some kids are happy with hand-me-downs, others don’t want a car at all thanks to good public transit. Parents are more focused on safety and savings than ever, with Subarus and Hondas topping the list. Is this the end of the flashy first car era? #Cars #Parenting #TeenLife

Tylenol in Pregnancy? Science Says Chill

Turns out, all those scary headlines about Tylenol (acetaminophen) during pregnancy might be overblown. A massive new review found no link between using acetaminophen as directed and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disabilities in kids. The real risk? Not treating fevers or pain when you need to. As always, follow the label and talk to your doc if symptoms stick around, but you can breathe a little easier about that Tylenol bottle. #Health #BodyHealth #parenting

Maybe it’s time to chill on the race for top grades and let kids’ imaginations run wild! #Health #MentalHealth #parenting
