Millennials are becoming the new generation of parents, and they’re raising their families at a time when technology allows for hyper-monitored childhoods. A reported 11 million children under five attend daycare in the U.S. each week, and new tools are giving working parents ways to stay constantly in the loop and witness their children's first moments and behaviors. HiMama is an online platform that makes it easy for working parents to stay “informed, included, and reassured,” in real time. Child caretakers can upload updates on food, behavior, mood, sleep, videos, and photos via smartphone or tablet, which can be sent instantly to parents and are also aggregated into a report emailed out at the end of each day. The app also simplifies paperwork by enabling parents to upload and access children’s information efficiently, giving them more post-work time to spend with their kids. (Springwise)
