This is PinkleTank\'s Music Video for their
new song Cool To Be Cool. Look for PinkleTank\'s new EP to be released
soon! PinkleTank released Get Tankled last year and it is available on
iTunes.com and in your favorite music store. PinkleTank is now filming
a new pilot show in Nashville, TN, and it will be release early next
year. Eight-year-old Pinkle\'s two favorite colors were
pink and purple, so she combined the two to create her stage name. Tank
has been called Tank since birth, so it is easy to see how this band
came up with its name.

Girl: I\\\'ve been wondering… where do websites come from?
Mom: Hmm. Well, when two people are in love with each other, they want to express their love in a way that everyone can see. And that\\\'s when they make a website.
Girl: But how do they do it?
Dad: We wanted to save this talk for when you were older, but since you\\\'re asking… When a mom and dad know they want to create a new baby website, they put the kids to bed early, turn off all the lights… and log onto FreeWebsite.com.
Mom: Yes, then they just decide what kind of website they want and they\\\'re done! The stork will bring the new-born website within 48 hours.
Girl: Oh, now I understand! Is that how babies are made too?

Life as a mom with eight active kids can get hectic, and keeping them healthy needs to stay top-of-mind. Inspired by her commitment, Nestlé Pure Life surprised Barbie’s family with a year’s supply of bottled water and made an extra donation of bottled water to her daughter’s after-school drama class to help inspire others in her community.

Touch-screen technology is everywhere and it comes as no surprise that today’s children are practically born digital. It’s second nature for even the youngest children to pick up a smart device and instinctively navigate to find their favorite, age-appropriate apps. As parents try to help their children find a healthy balance between traditional and tech play, one thing is for certain…this growing trend isn’t slowing down any time soon.
In 2011, Fisher-Price, the leading maker of infant and preschool toys and Mattel’s largest brand, took an innovative approach to integrating “app-cessories” into its product line by creating the Laugh & Learn™ Apptivity™ Case for iPhone® and iPod® touch devices to protect parents’ coveted devices from babies’ dribble and drool. The Apptivity Case, appropriate for children ages six months+, was developed in conjunction with free Laugh & Learn apps to enable infants to experience their favorite Laugh & Learn characters, like the beloved Puppy, in a new, engaging format.

The Tween Internet Safety Survey, commissioned by Cox Communications in partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), found that nearly all tweens (95 percent) use mobile devices to go online.
Mobile devices and gaming consoles are widely used by tweens to access web content, and the survey revealed a lack of guidelines and controls on these devices that can leave tweens vulnerable. While 68 percent of parents surveyed said they monitored their child’s Internet behavior on mobile devices, the survey showed that only 1 in 5 (17 percent) actually use basic parental control features such as age appropriate web content filtering on smartphones, tablets and game consoles.
