The ‘Hot Girl Walk’ is a TikTok trend that blew up amidst the COVID-19 pandemic to promote a daily mental health check-in with yourself while being active. There are no physical goals attached to this, only internal ones. The world of social media is ever-evolving, and in no time, there was a kid-friendly version of this called the ‘Sparkle Girl Walk’, which continues to rise in popularity.

However, the overarching messaging behind the trend and its counterparts is to focus on your mental health each day, which also stands for your children. How can parents help their little ones live their most fruitful lives without overwhelming them? The answer is simple, physical fitness and quality time.

Outside of traditional parenting methods, physical activity is proven to improve mental health. On average, children and teens who exercise more tend to have lower levels of depression and anxiety. When living in a time where children have access to social media, devices, and technology, family time outside became easier to achieve with Ookkie, the ultimate learner skateboard for kids.


Ookkie was created in 2016 by parents who are avid skateboarders and wanted to pass along this skill to their children. It has expanded past this to all parents who want to get their kids more involved with the great outdoors. In the age of electronics, getting outside seems to be more complex than ever. Children of this generation spend less time outside than any generation before. While riding along in the stroller might be mentally stimulating, the Ookkie has been created to add the physical element and be more engaging for your child. Engaging with kids helps them develop social skills, learn new physical tasks, and grow their imaginations to worlds beyond. It’s hard to find safe options for one to six-year-olds to be more active outside. Toys seem to be outgrown before you can blink, and most kids aren’t big enough for team sports quite yet. However, some solitary activities can still be enjoyed together; that is where skateboarding shines. A whole community is right under your children’s noses, and getting them started as early as possible will only be more fun for them as they get older.

Ookkie Was Created For Kids

Ookkie is a unique learning experience for your kids. It involves balance and focus while teaching children to be confident in their abilities. Ookkie is for every child and grows with them, making it more than a toy. It is a tool for them to learn and grow that equips them with the confidence they need to flourish.

Unique Design

Ookkie progresses with your child through its unique design. The adult handle lengthens so you can have control over the board. The ‘confidence handle’ adjusts to the child’s height, helping them stay steady on the board as they learn to get comfortable with their balance. The board is light and set on smooth rolling wheels to make it easier for kids while riding.

How Ookkie Grows

The adjustable handles on the Ookkie make it easier for parents and children to have stability. The goal is for kids to be able to ride on their own eventually, and Ookkie has the ideal system for this. The adult handle can be removed so that the confidence handle is still there to support your child, and when they’re ready, the confidence handle can also be removed to reveal a lightweight child’s board that they can continue to ride for years.

These stages also make it easier to fit into any vehicle to travel with the Ookkie. The board comes with an added safety feature, the emergency brake. Designed with a sphere on the lower half of the board, parents can push down on the handle to help stop the board. The Ookkie is safe and interactive and teaches your kids new skills.

With 5-star reviews across the board, here’s a preview of what customers have to say about the Ookkie:

"Makes our walks more fun and makes him feel so special."

We got the Ookkie for Haydn (2.5yrs old) to learn balance, and to bring some fun to our normal walks, so he felt like his siblings on their skateboards. Ookkie is fun for the whole family; each of his older siblings loves having their turn to push him on it; it makes our walks more fun and makes him feel so special!

The Ookkie is available to shop on Amazon and at Ookkie.com, where you can learn more about the brand that is revolutionizing family time and confidence in kids simultaneously.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
