Scotland's baby boxes

What's up caffeine addicts,

Here is another great video that talks about something that Scotland has been trying out.

I have heard of other countries doing this before. The idea of sending care packages to new parents is incredible. It can be very difficult and expensive to take care of a newborn and this will give everyone a great head start to help them out.

If something like this was implemented in the United States I feel like it would greatly improve the quality of life for millions of newborns and ensure that they get everything that they need in those crucial years of their life. By doing this you will also ensure that their development at a young age will go more smoothly with less stress from the parents trying to figure out how to handle such a daunting task.

The biggest reason I am a proponent for this is for single parents especially. Raising a child with someone else is tough enough but doing it while depending on only one source of income is insanely challenging for both the parent and the child. And with the prevalence of single parents lately, I think this could really make an amazing difference if it were implemented in the U.S.


Stay awesome.

  1. They just started doing this in New Jersey! I think a couple of other states are getting ready to try it too. Such a great idea!
