Seattle Children's

Seattle's Child has published a parent review of 'Leonardo! A Wonderful Show about a Terrible Monster', the stage adaptation of Mo Willems's children's book. The review offers families a first-hand look at whether the show suits young audiences, covering its humor, pacing, and kid-friendly appeal. Local parents deciding on theatre outings for children are taking note of the assessment.

Commentators are drawing parallels between the slow societal response to social media's harms to children and the emerging debate over artificial intelligence safety. Years of unchecked social media use left many young people addicted before regulators and schools acted, and writers in outlets including The Seattle Times and The Telegraph argue policymakers should apply those lessons now, before AI products deeply embed themselves in children's lives.

Commentary in Seattle's Child argues that artificial intelligence is entering classrooms and that parents and educators need to grapple with what that means for how children learn. The piece weighs the opportunities of AI tools in education against concerns over accuracy, misuse and the effect on teaching, urging families and schools to engage with the technology rather than ignore it.
