Children aren’t happy without something to ignore, And that’s what parents were created for.
Ogden Nash
Some people hope to achieve immortality through their works or their children. I would prefer to achieve it by not dying.
Woody Allen
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they’re going to catch you in next.
Franklin P. Jones
Children are natural mimic who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners.

Different sites (among them Gizmodo with Sam Biddle and Cnet with Liz Gannes) report that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told to CNN (Here) that “[...] he would like to create a safe and educational social networking environment for kids younger than 13. (According to Consumer Reports, 7.5 million such American kids already use Facebook by lying about their age.)
“That will be a fight we take on at some point,” Zuckerberg reportedly said of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which mandates parental permission and other protections for young users. [...]” (Full articles here and here).
I think that having a dedicated social network for kids is not a good idea.
And is not a good idea to have it lead by Mr. Zuckerberg who proved us to be so “capable” of ensuring privacy and security in the past.
I also think that children deserve the right to approach Internet under a protected approach to ensure that is a discovery and not a nightmare.
Have we all lost so much creativity in business we have to turn to kids to make money?

If we all start thinking of our future, instead of “going short” maybe we will all manage to give to our children (or at least to other generations following us) a better world.
Is so stupid to live without thinking of the rest.
This doesn’t mean living in misery or not enjoy the taste of life. Means only to take a moment and think “Will these going to impact others? will get me or others in a worst situation after the benefit I’m getting now”.
I came through this cartoon from Cagle cartoons (http://www.caglecartoons.com/images/preview/%7Be4e28807-361d-44b2-8681-b42f76405d24%7D.gif) through Geeks are sexy (full article at http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2011/02/12/bad-grades-1960-vs-2010-cartoon)
This is very important for me because reminds me a s a father of how big is the shift that occurred in dealing with children from my times (I’m 39 so not so long ago) and now.
I think that the good stands between the two situations, because yelling every time at children is not educating them, but also is not educational to protect them when they are wrong.
Today living in a hurry and focusing on work and career and materialism doesn’t help in educating children and make easier to yell at those who, with their actions and judgments, oblige the parents to assume their responsibilities.
Which is the best way to behave as parents? For me is “the old one”, leaving some flexibility in order not to frustrate children. But transmitting to our children some respect for rules and education.

Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn’t have said.

I see from many sources (among them the italian corriere della sera http://www.corriere.it/esteri/10_ottobre_04/bambino-scotch-muro-genitori_c58b0cf8-cf9e-11df-8a5d-00144f02aabe.shtml) that a couple (Corde Honea and Jayla Hamm) from Lincoln, Nebraska has been arrested and declared guilty for torturing their 22 month child by taping him against the wall with duct tape.
I only have to say a couple of words to those ugly bastards: you deserve the worst a man and a woman can have. I hope you’ll be treated as bad as is possible in jail, because you’re far for being human!
This poor little child didn’t decide to come to earth; you did it and he has the right to live a happy or at least not violent live.
Hope that the child will find someone giving him all the care and attention he had not.
