Child-Centric Vacationing
Hotels and restaurants add a kid-friendly spin to their servicesImplications - As consumers age, their needs adjust. Those with the buying power are of the family-building age, meaning children must be integrated into every buying decision. This is most obviously accommodated in the hotel and leisure industries, as companies add a more childcentric twist to their offerings. This not only a sign of the growing needs of consumers, but a great way for companies to show a thorough understanding of their customer. [More]

Kid Creation
Stimulating creativity in children through DIY-focused innovationsImplications - Child creativity is becoming a concern for adults. Researcher Kyung Hee Kim's 2010 study of 300,000 creativity tests dating back to the '70s uncovered that creativity has been decreasing among American children, and that since 1990, children have become less able to produce unique and imaginative ideas. This harsh truth has spawned a number of innovations aimed at sparking childhood creativity, ranging from mobile DIY labs to creative apps for kids. The good news is that creativity can indeed be cultivated, and that any innovation that helps to nurture creativity among youth is sure to be welcomed with open arms. [More]

Kidaptive Design
Products built with adjustability to accommodate growing childrenImplications - As both parents and designers know, caring for a child is expensive. As children get older, products that once fit them as babies are no longer suitable, meaning that parents must continue to spend money on new products. However, there is a growing direction in 'kidaptive design,' designs that are adjustable and adaptable to a growing child's needs. These include everything from furniture to footwear that will adjust in width and height, ensuring the product can still be used by the child and thereby alleviating financial stress from parents.
