Parenting is a learned skill. It is a wonderful mission and it is a way of life. We can never be non-parents again and everything we do is to make our children happy and not feel deprived. But what are the things that our children will remember most about us? What is it that will remind them of us for all eternity, and what parenting habits are most important to children?

The Children's Curiosity Laboratory in the Celje City Center, which presents science to children in a fun way, is a great idea for a family weekend "outing", as the weather forecast is not the most promising for wandering around in the air. All young scientists will receive a diploma, a commemorative T-shirt and a gift. We think we already know what you'll be doing this weekend.
The names we assign to colors are limiting and actually hinder our brains. The water that flows from the tap is not "blue". The leaves on the trees can be "green", but they can also be some other color. A Japanese design duo wants to change that – they want to change the way our children learn about colors. This is how the Nameless Paints paint set was born, where the colors are what they are - just colors.
Just as it is easy to be a general after a battle, it is easy to be a parent before we actually have children. Raising children is much easier in theory than in practice. We have collected 17 statements that many future parents subscribe to, but then life happens...
Children can fall asleep anywhere and anytime. Except when necessary. This is in kindergarten after lunch and at home in the evening, parents and educators would remark. In an ideal world, the evening routine of parents of young children is as follows. Brushing teeth, changing into pajamas, reading a fairy tale or singing a lullaby, a kiss on the forehead, turning off the lights and closing the door to the children's room. In the real world, the story is a little different, because we do not put a full stop here, because this is just the introduction. Many children refuse to sleep. But even children sometimes run out of energy, and not just at the end of the day. They don't mind if they eat a piece of bread, a shell or Lego blocks.
A children's panty that you can often wear on your own and combines several functionalities in one solution. The kind of potty that will make your little ones - really, always feel at home.
For many women, becoming a mother is the final and ultimate goal - the last hurrah, the step towards which they have been marching all their lives. The idea of having children is ingrained in us since childhood, and the importance of reproduction is also rooted in religion. In the Christian creed, Adam and Eve were given to Earth for reproduction, for the creation of the human race. Of course, all of this is additionally influenced by pop culture - films such as Najeta mama (Baby Mama, 2008) or What to Expect When You're Expecting? (What To Expect When You're Expecting, 2012) perpetuates the idea that the children we have alone will somehow fulfill our entire lives. Maybe it's true, maybe children really do make our lives worthwhile. They also make it more stressful - from social, financial and environmental aspects. Even science says that reproduction is a bad idea. In the article, we can read what are the main reasons why science believes that children should not be had.
To prevent any of us from bumping into the sharp corners of tables unnecessarily, the Japanese company Nitori decided to design protection in the form of cute animals that bite the edges of tables and other "sharp" furniture. An excellent invention that will protect the heads of our little ones during their first steps.
Children in America spend more than 24 hours a week in front of television screens. Donna Stevens' photographic series, Idiot Box, seeks to draw attention to the constant presence of technology and its effects on the most receptive audience, our children. Their portraits with absent looks and inexpressive facial gestures make us question what technology is actually doing to their young minds.
Of course, we can pretend that newborn photography is all about, well, newborns. But we can admit that there is nothing better than dressing up your little non-innovators as our favorite superheroes. Baby Super Mario and baby Princess Lea? Sold!
Sometimes the simplest inventions can change millions of lives. And this is, among other things, the goal of shoes that grow. The Shoe That Grows was invented by Kenton Lee, and the shoes can adjust their size for up to five years, enabling children in poor countries not to grow up barefoot.
Nowadays, children prefer playing computer games, exploring apps and sitting in front of televisions rather than social children's games and outdoor children's games. Mothers no longer count them because they would be outdoors all day, but they take them out of dark rooms into nature and into the light. In order not to forget them, we remembered the games we played as children.
