A survey of 12,000 parents across ten countries revealed that a third of children aged five to twelve engage in less than thirty minutes of outdoor …

Continuing our journey through the night sky, after exploring Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, it’s time to turn our telescopes to Uranus—the enigmatic blue-green world with a unique tilt, fascinating mythology, and a quirky history.

In fact, studies find that over the last decade, parents are consistently more likely to report experiencing high levels of stress as compared to their childless adult peers, with 33% of parents and only 20% of childless adults reporting high levels of stress in…

I thought to myself, in a world in which only names like Staubach, Bradshaw, Montana, and Aikman have hoisted the Cham…
