mjthrowaway1··on NYU: Obesity the biggest 'chronic' factor in New York’s Covid hospitalizations
It’s worth noting their definition for obesity is BMI>40 as opposed to the normal definition of BMI>30. BMI>40 is considered “class 3” or “extreme” obesity.
mjthrowaway1··on Ask HN: What are you doing to make your kid more successful?
Enabling her to pursue her interests. She’s 13 and has wanted to be an author for years. She’s fairly bright and is in all the highest difficulty classes at her school. Unfortunately, her honors English class isn’t challenging. So I looked for summer writing workshops and did the leg work figuring out what the pros and cons of each program are.

Then I did the research and found a public arts high school in the area that’s 45 minutes away. Encouraged her to apply. Next year I’ll be driving her to school in the morning.

I think the most important thing you can do as a parent is do the leg work for them. Passion doesn’t translate to an ability to navigate bureaucracy or take initiative to do something outside the norm. I felt that I would’ve been much better off growing up if my parents had helped me find a math & science school to go to instead of tell me to find one and then they’ll look into it for me. I never did because I was too young to navigate that whole process.
