Rock n Roll Parenting: Would you take your kid to a rock concert?

This week on Spawned with Kristen and Liz, with Kristen just back from an Imagine Dragons show, we’ve got kids and concerts on the brain. Join us for a lively discussion about the joy of tweens and big kids, safety concerns, tips and tricks — we even share our own first concerts.

Let’s just say Liz picked up a little bit of indie cred with hers, while Kristen revealed a shocking confession. (Well, Liz was shocked.)

This Week’s Sponsor: Learn with Homer

Homer is the proven learn to read app for kids that we have recommended for years on Cool Mom Tech. it’s such an effective way to help kids 2 to 8 learn to read since it taps into their own passions to motivate them.

They’ve built custom reading pathways around your own child’s interests, with personalized lessons and activities to get them even more excited to read every day. A recent study conducted by the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education concluded that just 15 minutes a day with Homer can increase early reading scores by 74%. So it’s not only fun, it’s incredibly effective.

And parents love the hundreds of printables, activity sheets and other educational tools you get with your subscription so you can take the learning offline, too.
