A father posted this on his son’s Facebook account, as a way to teach his son to log out of his account when he is not on the computer:

“To all of Chris’ friends: This is his father. My son carelessly left his account logged in so I decided to snoop around. Upon reading my son’s personal information, I would like to clear a few things up. My son is not a “gangsta,” he will not “beat a ho’s ass” and he will most certainly not “roll a fatty wit his boyz.” So for all of those who think he is some hard ass thug, think again…he is Chris _______, a 15 year old kid that was afraid of the dark until he was 12 and cried at the end of Marley and Me.”

To his son’s friends, this was funny and quite revealing.

But I wonder if the boy felt humiliated by the act.

Do you and your kids Facebook together? I’m friends with my own kids, but as much as possible, I stay away from their activities and have limited their access to my wall.

As teenagers, they can get easily embarrased by their parents, that much I know. I don’t even tag my son as much, since he may not want his friends to see photos of him as a naked 3 year old or something like that.

Do you think this father crossed the line or do you find what he did as amusing?

Our child’s education starts long before kindergarten. Parents are the first teacher of their children. It’s important for them to teach their child how to read even before they go to school.

Reading with your child is one of the most important building blocks in his education. He’ll be able to understand that “reading is worthwhile” and “that they are worthwhile” Witnessing your child develop into a young reader is one of the most fulfilling experience that you could imagine.

To raise a reader, you have to start in an early age. You can read books with your infant even if you think that they don’t understand. You’ll only get gurgles of interest when you read something to him but If you’re tempted to skip books at this age, please don’t. Just keep on reading aloud because your baby finds pattern with the sounds that he hears. Your goal is develop his understanding of the structure and uses of language.

• Look for Chubby books – This will develop  the eyemuscle of your baby. Make sure that it has a bold graphics because it gets his  attention. You can also use textured books.
• Something new – Go outside, explore things with your baby. Talk to him because it will  introduce the rhythm of language. It also nurtures his interest in the outside world.
• Using nursery rhymes – This is  a fun way to model language. So when the music starts, try dancing and moving your hands it will surely get his attention.
• Repetition – Don’t get tired of asking them the same questions like “Is this mommy’s car?”,”Is this  your daddy’s chair?” etc. Repetition is how your little ones learn.
