Apple is finally extending two long-overdue safety features to teens (ages 13-17) with the iOS 26 update!

🔒 Web Content Filters will now be enabled by default for all minors to reduce exposure to adult content, including po*******hy, on Safari.
🚫 N**e Image Blurring will automatically blur explicit images in Messages, AirDrop, FaceTime, and Contact Posters.

While teens can still choose to view blurred images (something advocates are pushing Apple to change), this adds a crucial speed bump in potential grooming or sextortion situations.

A big thanks to our friends at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, who have long pushed Apple to implement stronger protections for kids and teens. There’s still work to do, but this is a meaningful step forward! 👏

We have to stop holding our kids up to one standard of what a “good child” looks like.

Some kids are gentle and observant. They take everything in. They speak softly and they thrive in quiet corners.

Some kids are wild at heart. Full of movement, emotion, and big energy that cannot be boxed in. They do not sit still because they were born to shake things up.

And then there are the ones who are somewhere in the middle. A little loud. A little reserved. Full of curiosity and contradictions.

Every one of them is needed.

This world does not just need rule followers or peacekeepers. It needs dreamers. It needs question askers. It needs fire starters and deep feelers.

We have to stop labeling kids as too much or not enough.

We have to stop calling only the quiet ones good and the bold ones trouble.

Every child brings something irreplaceable to this world.

Let us raise them to believe that exactly who they are is more than enough.

A baby’s cry is a biological signal that their body is in distress and they need support.

In early development, their brain relies on these moments to shape how it responds to the world. When a caregiver consistently shows up, the brain begins to wire for safety, connection, and trust.

When those cries are ignored, the baby’s body stays flooded with stress, and the brain starts preparing for a world where needs go unmet. This affects how they regulate emotion, how they seek comfort, and how they form relationships—often in ways that are hard to undo.

Always tend to your little one’s physical and emotional needs. Their future depends on it.

Knowing about child development changes you. 🤓👇

🤔It changes your expectations, your assumptions, your beliefs about your child - And it changes you.

🧠It rewires how you show up when they’re melting down, pushing back, or shutting down.

😤While it will ALWAYS be annoying.

🫂Knowing that pushback is actually developmental work makes it so much easier to respond with patience instead of frustration. ❤
