Ready to learn more? Letโs explore together! ๐

Instagram’s New Teen Controlsย ๐จ
Instagram has launched teen accounts with new safety features just for teens. These accounts have stricter content settings and give parents the ability to see who their kids are messaging (without reading the messages). Teens under 16 will now need a parentโs permission to change these settings. Instagram is also using AI tools to check for teens who might be lying about their age. More changes are coming soon to keep our kids safe online! ๐
JPMCโs Blockchain Revolutionย ๐ฅ
Did you know JPMorgan, the largest U.S. bank, is using blockchain technology? In an interview, CEO Jamie Dimon shared that the bank is one of the biggest users of blockchain, a smart way to share data and build trust between banks and people. Although Dimon doesnโt believe in cryptocurrency like Bitcoin (he even calls it a “pet rock”), he sees the power of blockchain to make banking more efficient. With blockchain tech on the rise, your kids might be learning about it sooner than you think! ๐ชจ

Prevent Kids’ Sickness Fastย ๐ค
Donโt worry! Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common virus kids can bring home from school. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, and blisters on the hands and feet. The good news? Most kids get better in about a week. Make sure they drink lots of water and give them medicine for fever if needed. Oh, and popsicles can help soothe their sore throats! If your child gets really dehydrated, call your doctor right away! ๐จโโ๏ธ
New Tech Shows Baby Brain Activityย ๐คฏ
Did you know thereโs a new technology that helps us see whatโs happening inside babies’ brains? This wearable device uses safe light waves to track brain activity, showing us how babies react to sounds, sights, and social interactions. The study even found that babies as young as 5 months start processing emotions in social situations! This tech could help us learn more about how babies grow and how to support kids with neurodiversity like autism. ๐ง
